I liked FDR........wasn't too crazy about Coolidge

It was nineteen years after FDR died that a couple of academics began unlocking the causes of the great depression. That initiated a cascade of refined understanding about what really transpired.

In the interim a lot of nonsense achieved bedrock status that survives in some quarters to this day.

Amity Shlaes compiled a lot of better analysis in THE FORGOTTEN MAN, took another look at Calvin in COOLIDGE. Shame more won't read those -- for starters.
