 A great deformation is really that might be the best book on 20th century American financial history is by David Stockman, who's famously in the Reagan administration as a budget advisor. And what Stockman does is really demolish completely the arguments in favor of the Federal Reserve systems used for the bailout of 2008 and later, and he extends his treatments not just analysis the current crisis, but he goes back to 20th century history, shows the responsibility of the Federal Reserve system in causing the Depression in 1929. He has a great deal of important new research on the Depression, in some parts following the work of Benjamin Anderson economics and the public welfare. And he has discussions of all the administration and the financial problems from the beginning of 20th century to the present. I think if you want to understand economic history, American economic history in 20th century, this is the one book I think would be the one to get.
