“The Forgotten Man” by Amity Shlaes”
This is a very important book. She indirectly takes to task the shabby work of Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. that dominates most peoples views on the New Deal and the Great Depression. Unfortunately, the damage has already been done. Voters like Jay are in the majority. The polling data shows this clearly. I am convinced that the best economic policy would include dropping taxes on corporations and wealthy people. The Democrats, sadly, will then accuse the GOP of screwing the little folks on behalf of the fat cats.
