A review by jachso
America's Great Depression by Murray N. Rothbard

4.0

Superb deep dive into Hoover's actions, very easily dispels the lie that laissez-faire capitalism led to and propelled on the Great Depression. Must read for someone interested in this subject. Small warning: Rothbard and Johnson are exceedingly thorough in some parts, especially when they list out supporters of injurious policies. This leads to several paragraph-long sentences as they Mark of Rothbard every scummy, self-serving politician, economist, clergyman, and businessman our there. Nearly a century has passed since these ne'er-do-wells walked the earth, and so these lists provide as much use as Tolkien's rambling out elven names in the Simarillon.
