Publisher: New Press

ITEM OVERVIEW
A new edition of this invaluable, and (justly) legendary work. "Hard Times doesn't 'render' the time of the Depression or historicize about it—it is that time, its lingo, mood, its tragic and hilarious stories. Anybody who wants to know where we were and how we got to where we are now has to read this book." —Arthur Miller
"An invaluable record...the talk of people who remember and those who only heard; of those who suffered and those who didn't; of those who lost everything and those who had nothing to lose; and of those who were part of the problem, those who tried to solve it, and those who were caught in between." —New York Times
