New Deal or Raw Deal? - by Burton W Folsom (Paperback)

The book "New Deal or Raw Deal?" by Burton W.

Folsom provides a groundbreaking critical analysis of Franklin D.

Roosevelt's presidency, revealing government policies that hindered economic recovery from the Great Depression and are still hurting America today.

This book exposes the idyllic legend of Roosevelt as a myth, highlighting his questionable moral character and vendetta against the business elite.

Through a detailed examination of Roosevelt's campaign promises, policies, and personal life, Folsom reveals how he manipulated public opinion and created programs that directly contradicted his campaign goals, such as price fixing, court packing, regressive taxes, and patronage.

These programs not only strained the national budget but also discouraged business risks that could have jostled national cash flow from dormancy.

The book provides a comprehensive analysis of how Roosevelt's policies have had lasting consequences for America's economic growth, including stifling productivity and exacerbating unemployment.

By reading this book, you will gain a deeper understanding of the damaging repercussions of Roosevelt's legacy and how it continues to impact American politics today.
