FDR's Folly
How Roosevelt and His New Deal Prolonged the Great Depression

Think FDR was a great president? Think again. In the minds of historians and the American public alike, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was one of our greatest presidents, not least because he supposedly saved America from the Great Depression. But as historian Jim Powell reveals in this groundbreaking book, Roosevelts New Deal policies actually prolonged and exacerbated the economic disaster, swelled the federal government, and prevented the country from turning around quickly. In todays turbulent domestic and global environment, eerily similar to that of the 1930s, its more important than ever before to uncover and understand the truth of our history, lest we be doomed to repeat it. Youll never look at FDR in the same way again.
