      yeah new deal is taught in HS as some kind of coherent economic program by a visionary fdr rather than an absolutely insane fascistic madcap hodgepodge of completely off the wall shit that at various points made things better and also much much worse depending on the componenthttps://twitter.com/s_r_constantin/status/1450484535162978308 …

      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.

      Also, in the nicest possible way, going into researching a subject by looking for proof for what you already think is a bad idea. And it doesn't convince intelligent young people.

      No I mean I'm already fairly convinced by a lot of Goldberg and Sowell's writing but I want to expand on that

      Replying to @IriathZhul @eigenrobot

      Yeah, the problem with Sowell is that literally no one believes he would've said otherwise, no matter the circumstances. And Goldberg was just...I think the phrase is "not even wrong". FDR was so widely revered because people *wanted* equality and social cohesion.
