A GREAT UNDERSTANDING OF ECONOMICS & RECOVERY,
By ACEMAN (Paris, FR) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Roosevelt, the Great Depression, and the Economics of Recovery (Paperback)
It is rare when one single person can give you perspective on the subject but also walk you through the battles and deep politics of economics and the twists and turns of Roosevelt's administration, its hits and misses and its politics related to former presidents and how many missteps there really was to jump start the US economy during the Depression. The book is at once analytical,seemingly personal and observent of the the little things that are lost by historians with a broad brush. F. Roosevelt's early years and those years leading up to WWII were tough and the recovery was slowed by misinformation as well as a misunderstanding of just what was at stake and what to do. Rosen incredibly unscrambles the battles and the economics Keynesian, anti-Keynesian, Hooverism, laissez-faire theories, corporate capitalism, mercantilism and special interests at every turn. Not unlike what is going on in Congress today.The book is extremely solid in its scholarship AND it is very readable. A masterpiece. ACEMAN
