4.0 out of 5 stars Setting the record straight - this early, February 3, 2006

By	Jason Gonella "philosopher" (Lancaster, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: ECONOMICS AND THE PUBLIC WELFARE (Paperback)

This book was originally written in 1949. That's an important fact to consider when reading it. This makes Mr. Anderson the first historian to publicly state the fact that Hoover authored the New Deal.

This is a very trenchant examination of the economics of the period between the start of WWI and the end of WWII, and that includes the Roaring 20s and the Depressed 30s. Since this is a book of economics, it was ignored by historians. Shame, since they're the ones perpetuating the myth that Hoover and FDR were of opposite kinds when the truth is they were merely different by a matter of degree.

This book details the true economic situation during that time, but it was the sections on Hoover that really caught my eye, all the massive public works programs and cartelization of the economy that show that the myths are wrong.
