In the chaos after the stock market crash of 1893, the Department of Commerce was formed. Ever since, it has helped keep our economy strong. During the Great Depression, this department helped to pull America out of poverty and unemployment and set it back on the course to prosperity. Since that time, the United States has been the world's leading economic power. This book relates the history of the Department of Commerce, details its current responsibilities and programs, and drafts the economic issues facing us in the 21st century.
