Bought and loved the book. I have one question (and I am showing my economic ignorance}-- did the government spending of WW2 actually end the depression? And if not, what did? RDC
This lady quotes some nameless rich guy who said HE wouldnt invest as evidence? Thats sounds like gossip to me, & then saying the government wants to "take over" everything? What branch of government is she talking about? The DMV? That is just a bunch of hog wash to hype up fear but is baseless in facts. "the government" as if its 1 collective being, please.
I'm glad that her book is selling so well right now. It very inaccurately argues that government spending during World War Two ended the Great Depression, when what actually ended it was the deregulation and repeal of price controls that occurred in the early 1950s. But I'm glad that Amity Shlaes exposes the truth about Andrew Mellon, & about what the National Recovery Administration did to the Schechter brothers.

I hate Nick Gillepsie, he always has to say "ahuh" or "right" every other second. Just be quite and let us listen to what Amity has to say!

John Maynard Keynes was Progressive-Marxist Fascist.
ALL of the governments who follow his Statist central planning have gone or are going bankrupt.
The Democrat and NeoCon Progressives MUST be removed from power.

'The forgotten man' is also found in other works of the mid 1930's
