Amity Shlaes, economic history senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and the author of The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression, wrote an article about the period of New Deal policies. Her contention correctly assumes that New deal policies lenghtened the Great Depression and that public job creation undermines the strenghts of private sector in providing jobs and creating overall prosperity.

Thank you for posting about my book!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to know THE FORGOTTEN MAN also lives in Slovenia.
Just a note. I am a senior fellow in economic history at The Council on Foreign Relations. That is my principal affiliation.
Sincerely,
Amity Shlaes
