In The Forgotten Man, Amity Shlaes, one of the nation's most-respected economic commentators, offers a striking reinterpretation of the Great Depression. She traces the mounting agony of the New Dealers and the moving stories of individual citizens who through their brave perseverance helped establish the steadfast character we recognize as American today.

Bogus numbers tell you all you need to know -  |
The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression Review |
|
Long story short - Ms. Shlaes' numbers are bogus, and must be deliberately so. For example, her number for employed/unemployed people given at the start of chapters simply does not count the people put to work directly by the government (like those in the WPA) as employed. It's as though a government job didn't count as a job. Such dishonesty renders the book useless as history, regardless of the supposed political leanings of the author. As far as her political leanings are concerned, however, such dishonesty has become characteristic of those on the right to an alarming degree. If you have to resort to dishonesty to argue a point, as Ms. Shlaes has done here, then the validity of the point is suspect. Ms. Shlaes seems to agree with Ronald Reagan, who so famously said, "Facts are stupid things". (Yes, he really did say this, at the 1988 Republican National Convention. He was misquoting John Adams.) |

The Forgotten Man -  |
The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression Review |
|
Very timely subject as we're entering a recession. Apparently as I write this, it appears the same mistakes will be made over again, and we, the forgotten, will pay... again as usual. |

Good Book - |
The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression Review |
|
Gave this as a gift and haven't read myself, but the reader says it is well worth reading. |

|
a "Must Read" - |
The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression Review |
|
This is a must read. Buy copies for your parents and for your kids. READ IT and spread the word. |

|
Anti-Roosevelt nonsense - |
The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression Review |
|
Typical anti-Roosevelt polemic. For people who still think that Herbert Hoover was a victim of circumstance and that 1920's Republicanism had nothing to do with the Wall Street crash of 1929. In short, historical revisionism at its worst. |
