　　“Admirers of FDR credit his New Deal with restoring the

American economy after the disastrous contraction of 1929—33. Truth

to tell–as Powell demonstrates without a shadow of a doubt–the New

Deal hampered recovery from the contraction, prolonged and added to

unemployment, and set the stage for ever more intrusive and costly

government. Powell’s analysis is thoroughly documented, relying on

an impressive variety of popular and academic literature both

contemporary and historical.”

– Milton Friedman , Nobel Laureate, Hoover Institution

“There is a critical and often forgotten difference between

disaster and tragedy. Disasters happen to us all, no matter what we

do. Tragedies are brought upon ourselves by hubris. The Depression

of the 1930s would have been a brief disaster if it hadn’t been for

the national tragedy of the New Deal. Jim Powell has proven

this.”

– P.J. O’Rourke , author of Parliament of Whores and Eat the

Rich

“The material laid out in this book desperately needs to be

available to a much wider audience than the ranks of professional

economists and economic historians, if policy confusion similar to

the New Deal is to be avoided in the future.”

– James M. Buchanan , Nobel Laureate, George Mason

University

“I found Jim Powell’s book fascinating. I think he has written an

important story, one that definitely needs telling.”

– Thomas Fleming , author of The New Dealers’ War

“Jim Powell is one tough-minded historian, willing to let the

chips fall where they may. That’s a rare quality these days, hence

more valuable than ever. He lets the history do the talking.”

–David Landes , Professor of History Emeritus, Harvard

University

“Jim Powell draws together voluminous economic research on the

effects of all of Roosevelt’s major policies. Along the way, Powell

gives fascinating thumbnail sketches of the major players. The

result is a devastating indictment, compellingly told. Those who

think that government intervention helped get the U.S. economy out

of the depression should read this book.”

– David R. Henderson , editor of The Fortune Encyclopedia of

Economics and author of The Joy of Freedom

The Great Depression and the New Deal. For generations, the

collective American consciousness has believed that the former

ruined the country and the latter saved it. Endless praise has been

heaped upon President Franklin Delano Roosevelt for masterfully

reining in the Depression’s destructive effects and propping up

the

country on his New Deal platform. In fact, FDR has achieved

mythical status in American history and is considered to be, along

with Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln, one of the greatest

presidents of all time. But would the Great Depression have been so

catastrophic had the New Deal never been implemented?

In FDR’s Folly , historian Jim Powell argues that it was in fact

the New Deal itself, with its shortsighted programs, that deepened

the Great Depression, swelled the federal government, and prevented

the country from turning around quickly. You’ll discover in

alarming detail how FDR’s federal programs hurt America more than

helped it, with effects we still feel today, including:

?How Social Security actually increased unemployment

? How higher taxes undermined good businesses

? How new labor laws threw people out of work

? And much more

This groundbreaking book pulls back the shroud of awe and the

cloak of time enveloping FDR to prove convincingly how flawed his

economic policies actually were, despite his good intentions and

the astounding intellect of his circle of advisers. In today’s

turbulent domestic and global environment, eerily similar to that

of the 1930s, it’s more important than ever before to uncover and

understand the truth of our history, lest we be doomed to repeat

it.
