The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression and the New Deal

Praise for The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression and the New Deal

"A thorough and impressive critique of FDR and the New Deal which should be required reading in all modern U.S. history and economics courses. I highly recommend this insightful book."

— Burton W. Folsom, Jr., Professor of History, Hillsdale College

"Robert P. Murphy's splendid guide to the Great Depression and the New Deal is a clear, compelling account of an era that even most economists get wrong. Now that many people are clamoring for a rerun of the New Deal, you owe it to yourself to find out what such a sequel would entail. Murphy's book is the best place to begin your quest."
— Robert Higgs, Senior Fellow in Political Economy, The Independent Institute

"Today's central planners cower from the truth about the Great Depression and the New Deal like Dracula before a crucifix. Robert Murphy eviscerates the fantasy version of these episodes that are used to justify destructive and idiotic policies today. You almost feel sorry for the propagandists while reading this book. Almost."
— Thomas E. Woods, Ph.D., author of the New York Times bestseller Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed

"Dr. Murphy explains in insightful fashion why conventional wisdom is neither conventional nor wisdom. He is not only a good economist but can turn the reader into a good economist."
— Gary Wolfram, William Simon Professor of Economics and Public Policy, Hillsdale College

"Bob Murphy's Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression provides defenders of liberty the intellectual arsenal they need to counter the myth that capitalism caused, and government cured the Great Depression. Read this book and understand why massively increasing government is not change we can believe in."
— Congressman Ron Paul
