Summary

Construction Halts Nationwide delves into the United States' drastic construction industry collapse during the Great Depression, revealing its critical role in exacerbating the economic crisis. By 1933, building activity plummeted by 80%, illustrating the severe impact of financial policies and economic downturns on a crucial sector. The book uniquely connects this collapse to broader socio-economic consequences such as widespread unemployment and housing shortages, arguing that the construction downturn was not merely a symptom but a significant driver of the Depression. The book explores the anatomy of the construction industry, the impact of financial policies, and the resulting socio-economic issues, providing a comprehensive understanding of the crisis. It examines pre-Depression speculative booms, government responses, and the effects on employment and housing. Using primary sources and econometric data, Construction Halts Nationwide offers a rigorous, evidence-based perspective, highlighting how investment regulation and economic policies influenced the construction market and subsequently the US economy. Proceeding logically, the book first establishes the scale and immediate effects of the construction decline before analyzing underlying causes, such as banking practices and government missteps. Subsequent chapters focus on the social and economic consequences, concluding with lessons for preventing future construction-led economic catastrophes. This approach offers valuable insights for economists, historians, and policymakers seeking to understand and prevent similar crises.

    A behind-the-scenes look at how digital surveillance is affecting the trucking way of life. 
 
 
 
Long-haul truckers are the backbone of the American economy, transporting goods under grueling conditions and immense economic pressure. Truckers have long valued the independence of their work, sharing a strong occupational identity rooted in a tradition of autonomy. Yet these workers increasingly find themselves under many watchful eyes. Data Driven examines how digital surveillance is upending life and work on the open road, and raises crucial questions about the role of data collection in broader systems of social control. 
 
 
 
Karen Levy takes listeners inside a world few ever see, painting a bracing portrait of one of the last great American frontiers. Federal regulations now require truckers to buy and install digital monitors that capture data about their locations and behaviors. Intended to address the pervasive problem of trucker fatigue by regulating the number of hours driven each day, these devices support additional surveillance by trucking firms and other companies. Traveling from industry trade shows to law offices and truck-stop bars, Levy reveals how these invasive technologies are reconfiguring industry relationships and providing new tools for managerial and legal control—and how truckers are challenging and resisting them.
