Book Description




The Beginnings of OPA.


Book Description

Discusses the events, from 1940-1942, that led up to the establishment of the Office of Price Administration (OPA), singling out the crucial problems as they arose, capturing enough of the climate of the times and forces at work to convey some sense of the stakes at issue, and to explain why the crossroads decisions went as they did. An end result of those decisions made was the passage of the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942.
