Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Pulitzer Prize winning historian David M. Kennedy for a discussion of what is to be learned from The Great Depression. Professor Kennedy, author of Freedom From Fear, The American People in Depression and War, 1929-1945, analyzes the genius of Roosevelt's leadership, the tragedy of Herbert Hoover, the relationshp between FDR's short term goals to deal with the economy and his long term goals to establish a new political coalition and create institutions to stabilize American capitalism and more equitably distribute its resources. Professor Kennedy goes on to draw parallels wtih the current global economic crisis and the lessons that the Obama administration could learn from the New Deal.

From Spain, my most sincere admiration to professor Harry Kreisler for this excellent series of interviews over so many years. I must say that I really love and appreciate the nice atmosphere created by professor Kreisler. For me, the perfect interviewer.
Your work is most valuable to help us understand the course of History over the last decades.
My sincere congratulations

My AP US history teacher doesn't like Kennedy. He believes that Kennedy has a progressive view on history and doesn't fully explain half the things he says.

They don't get political...in talking politics.

David M Kennedy is a brilliant historian, FFF is the best single text on the period from 1919 through 1945 there is, it doesn't suffer from as many of the myopias that other historians who examine this era inevitably suffer from. He's very left of center, but that isn't a detriment to his ability to analyze and synthesize intelligently and intuitively. Props to him for debunking the do-nothing Hoover myth.

Calling Huey Long left-wing is like calling Mussolini left-wing. Both called for government intervention in the economy, after all.
They weren't exactly the same -- Huey was a kind of populist -- but Huey was essentially a fascist.
