US history or world history (?) is very fascinating whatever you choose. eg cold spells & famine led to harsh economic conditions in Europe in later 1700’s which directly led to the French Revolution. gold imports from the New World led to huge inflation in Europe in the 1500’s.... The US has had many depressions & recessions from the first settlements. And so on. Economic History fascinates me. Google is a good place to start branching out. --107.77.xxx.xx |

I can recommend one for American history.
The Frontiersman by Allen W. Eckert.
The narrative is the time period of 1700 to the war of 1812. It’s a long read but worth every turn of the page. Main character is Simon Kenton and his adventures as a frontiersman and how he develops a relationship with the Iroquois five nations.

What part do you want to learn? Just living lifestyle.... economic data?
Some books are great to read about the 30's depression. Best is to talk to the people who actually live it. --76.77.xxx.xxx |

I like "A Monetary History of the United States, 1867-1960" by Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz, the history that you are asking about from the point of view of monetary theory.
Another is "The Age of Capital: 1848-1875" by Eric Hobsbawm, seen from more of a socialistic perspective than the free-market advocacy of Friedman (during an age where Socialism began its ascent).
I personally like "The General Theory Of Employment, Interest, And Money" by John Maynard Keynes. What is especially interesting is his theories about how societies can recover from depression without any outside help.

Thank you everyone for the responses thus far.
I am thinking in terms of economic cycles in history, I presume.
In one of Robert Kiyosaki's books he mentioned how he was told to learn about economic history. --73.120.xx.xxx |

I would do just some basic google searching then; watch a few youtube vids. My .02, focus on the 70's right now. What is going on now has the biggest correlation.... inflation, just getting out of unpopular war(s), country kind of divided, supply chain disruptions, etc... --76.77.xxx.xxx |

I would think learning about the depression would suffice for history you weren't alive for. My life experience started in 1967 when I joined the Navy and found out real world problems. We had Jimmy Carter and 21% mortgage interest.
Living by my own lessons-- politicians are crooks and liars and are not out for us.
For example Susan Rice has increased her wealth 4 fold as a public servant. 140M
The O bama well you see how they live and she was disbarred?
You just can't dwell on history--. --99.103.xxx.xxx |
