Bank Holiday Declared

Summary

"Bank Holiday Declared" examines Franklin Delano Roosevelt's 1933 bank holiday and its lasting impact on the American economy. Delving into the Great Depression era, the book analyzes whether this unprecedented government intervention saved the economy or merely postponed its collapse. One intriguing aspect explored is how the crisis revealed structural weaknesses in the pre-Depression financial system.

 
The book argues that while the bank holiday addressed the immediate banking crisis, it fundamentally reshaped the relationship between the government and the financial sector, leading to increased federal oversight. It traces the evolution of financial regulation, including the creation of the FDIC and the expansion of the Federal Reserve's powers.

 
The book unfolds by first examining the pre-Depression financial system, then dissecting the events leading up to the bank holiday, and finally analyzing its long-term implications. This historical and economics-focused analysis challenges simplistic narratives of the New Deal, prompting readers to consider the trade-offs between economic stability and individual liberty. By drawing upon primary sources and balancing economic analysis with historical research, "Bank Holiday Declared" offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in American economic history.

Taking Control 3 - How to...

Paul Garvey

Building on the success of the previous two books, this third volume helps school leaders develop the confidence and know-how to navigate the new areas judged under the new inspection model.
Part One offers a clear and concise overview of the new Report Card Framework, pinpointing the similarities with and key differences from its predecessor, the Education Inspection Framework (EIF). Paul also offers clear guidance on how to prepare for the inspection, with particular emphasis on reducing pressure on staff. Part Two introduces the new inspection commentary, which will replace the outgoing School Self-Evaluation Form (SEF). To assist with this, Paul provides a dialogic tool that will help schools provide the most positive picture of their work possible, detailing how to construct a persuasive narrative addressing each inspection area.
The book also confronts the wider context around school inspections, including contentious debates surrounding Ofsted, the impact of inspections on staff wellbeing, and the tragic death of Ruth Perry. Against this backdrop, he offers a toolkit grounded in experience and compassion to help leaders truly take control and approach their inspections with confidence.
Suitable for head teachers, senior leadership team members, subject leaders, classroom teachers, governors and all stakeholders in mainstream schools in England.
