The Worst Hard Time is a terrific read about a part of American history that many have forgotten or perhaps were never really been aware of. The parallels between what the nation faced in the 1930s and what it faces today are striking -- environmental disaster, bank failures, market collapse, unemployment, foreclosures -- and perhaps can better help understand and seek solutions to society's challenges.
