        schwartz and friedman's monetary history of the united states has a good chapter on this. at one point i think 1937 he probably caused a double dip recession by inducing deflation via raising reserve requirements this separately from the feds mismanagement, a separate issuepic.twitter.com/HNVOI8TAQ9

        Amity Shlaes wrote an entire book pointing out - not entirely unreasonably - that metrics like unemployment remained high. What that ignores is that, even at the time, it was revered as a way of introducing and maintaining a sense of social cohesion.

        Other than 'Liberal Fascism', is there a good comprehensive summary of the badness of the New Deal? I need to prepare to counterprogram against my local school when they start teaching my son history.

        "The Forgotten Man"? Problem is that Shlaes counted by a different metric from most people even at the time.
