Book Reviews of The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression
Book Review: Good Thesis but Tough Read
Summary: 3 Stars
The author does a great job expounding her theory that World War II ended the great depression and FDR's New Deal only helped prolong it. With plenty of examples of flamboyant socialist policies, overzealous prosecutions, and the unconstitutional court packing plan, she certainly makes a good case. This work, however, is pretty dense and can be hard to get through at times. This book would make an excellent source for an Economics class, but could be a little much for the average reader looking for an overview of the time period.
Summary of The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression
In The Forgotten Man, Amity Shlaes, one of the nation's most-respected economic commentators, offers a striking reinterpretation of the Great Depression. She traces the mounting agony of the New Dealers and the moving stories of individual citizens who through their brave perseverance helped establish the steadfast character we recognize as American today.
