The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression by Amity Shlaes

3.0

The art is solid, the point of view is very clear, but the consistent mustache-twirling or fervent mania of the assorted New Dealers is laid on a little bit thick. I'll give you some misguided, and I'll give you some deceptive, and I'll give you SOME villainy, but c'mon.

I love my Ayn Rand as much as the next guy or gal who loves Ayn Rand, but when I'm reading The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged, I know I'm reading fictional political commentary, not historical analysis.
