Can you look for the word fad in the text and tell me what it means? Before you look it up, try to guess.
Do you know what book this is? Maybe Mr Google will be able to help you.

I thought fad meant something new, but I've checked it and it is a fashion, anyway, the meaning of the sentence is similar to what I imagined

DeleteThe text deal with a historical event, The Great Depression, a sever worlwide econonomic depression, which started in 1929 until the late 1930's but I haven't found which book it is yet.

ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the word 'fad' in the text, I thought it was something related to 'genius', but then I looked up for the meaning at WordReference and it means 'short trend'.
ReplyDeleteThe title of the book could be "kane and Abel" (Google gave me some help)
