"I have been proud to support research for this book." -- William
F. Buckley, Jr.
"History books and politicians in both parties sing the praises for
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's presidency and its measures to get
America out of the Great Depression. What goes unappreciated is the
fact that many of those measures exacerbated and extended the
economic downturn of the 1930s. New Deal or Raw Deal? is a careful
documentation and analysis of those measures that allows us to
reach only one conclusion: While President Roosevelt was a great
man in some respects, his economic policy was a disaster. What's
worse is that public ignorance of those policy failures has lent
support for similar policies in later years. Professor Burt Folsom
has produced a highly readable book and has done a yeoman's job in
exposing the New Deal." -- Walter E. Williams, John M. Olin
Distinguished Professor of Economics, George Mason University
