The Forgotten Man by Amity Shlaes

a new history on the Great Depression in the United States. Goes through Hoover, Roosevelt, their top advisors, the programs, and the results. Argues that government prevention not only didn't stem the Great Depression but worsened and lengthened it. The book points out the flaws in government intervention and planning in general. This should be obvious, but it seems most of this world seems to acknowledge this. Nobody is bright enough to run an entire complex system. Nobody can come close to the workings of a market. oh wellz
