Reviews

“James R. Anderson has done a masterful job framing the experience of the Civil Works Administration and showing how investing in paying people to work, rather than giving them direct relief, was the difference that truly mattered to poverty eradication and rebuilding morale in Depression-ravaged Michigan. This volume is a valuable read for anyone who wants a real taste for what it meant to be ‘on the ground’ across our state in the early 1930s.” —JOHN P. BECK, cofounder and codirector of Our Daily Work/Our Daily Lives and Associate Professor, MSU School of Human Resources and Labor Relations
