New Deal or Raw Deal?
by Burton W. Folsom Jr. · 2008
★★★★★Editor's Pick
Folsom examines the New Deal's real record: cronyism, tax policy designed to punish political opponents, and programs that extended the Depression for nearly a decade. Meticulously documented and devastating to the FDR mythology still taught in schools.
