One star only because zero is not available. More drugs for the “in denial” crowd. I read this book. I have the motivation for it. If you’ve spent money to have for year or a cause (was not the giant Ponzi scheme that liberalization has collapsed from the provisions of this ilk, the annoying problem of politics and championed the war in Iraq – embarrassing questions for people who champion these things), it is very difficult to admit mistakes. So instead of returning to the pen! Good job was his last Faux News talking points. “Cherry picking” the mistakes of the New Deal is simple. Ignoring the obvious advantages of pursuing the “New Deal” for a political agenda makes clear, the author of an artificial powers, which (thank God), while desperately to revive their party. Difficult to do if at this point, even the most ardent right-wing can not ignore the fact that Republican policies plunged the country into an economic crisis. Let the market police itself, they know what they are doing! Drown the gov’t in the bathtub! And hey, we have these problems, it is not we who have caused us! It was Clinton! Hey Let’s go further back, it was Roosevelt! Yes, that’s it! It was minorities get loans, not the bankers of Wall Street in a game in Las Vegas. The position seems to take it, hey, we have all the time is right, it’s just that Bush had it right, uh, he lost his way! The disaster on Wall Street? It is the fault of the Democratic candidate, I see it can explain the look, what FDR had his faults. . . . . WOW can not wait to go count my money from the Heritage Foundation, and now I have to book a tour, and have worked all the people in denial of what to do with their votes for a war without end in Iraq comes to me and Buy my book, bravo! In any case, the next generation of the price when the bill to pay matured and that the Chinese call their loans. The greatest threat to our democracy of modern times, by these right-wing clique – ignores the fact that the Chinese in essence, we are at this point. We were fools, they opened the doors of the bank vault, made by people like this author of a mission statement, the money is gone. But the right wing can not admit mistakes. No, we go back and rewrite history. Astonishing lengths people go to justify their mistakes and miscalculations. No solution on the right side, none of these. Of course, we will now hear, and why now? They have a good job for our country, right? My God, how can we believe? Rating: 1 / 5

Absurd, religious, capitalistic propaganda. Franklin D. Roosevelt and his policies are the saviors of the U.S. economy is. Any attempt to paint it otherwise is absolute nonsense! Rating: 1 / 5

This is revisionist history curator pire.Si you are one of DittoBots Rush Limbaugh or a follower of the cult of Ayn Rand, this book is definitely for you. Any preconceived ideas will be confirmed and strengthened without removing pesky things like “facts” or “reality” on the path of free market Fest.Toutefois love, if you have a serious student of history or policy of the government, in other place to look because this is not scientific, but a work of fiction designed to an audience that ideological orthodoxy in historical research was rather flat réel.Malheureusement zero stars is not an option and it will be.

Google “Burton Folsom reviews” New Deal “Raw Deal” and you will get hundreds of hits it – almost all conservatives and ultra-conservative publications and websites. There is a reason, and not because of “left” bias. Anyone, left or right of center, with the real history of the “familiar New Deal is in this book what it is: an ideology of extreme right to find scholarships posing economic history. Of course, had the “New Deal” mixed results, but the impact of the “New Deal was” much more complicated (and positive) in general, want to make his readers believe Folsom. After the total corruption of government by the Bush administration and after the collapse of our economy by the very economic policies that Folsom and other conservatives cause to celebrate, but it is difficult to present its analysis and recommendations seriously.

Burt Folsom is not what he wants you to believe that est.Ce book full mensonges.Burt Folsom has an agenda. It is both religious and political. Therefore, his opinion is biased. Bias does not have a good recherche.Folsom is connected with the institution of free enterprise. The Free Enterprise Institute, said that a “think tank” free market. One of the tools to attack the “Center for American idea.” The center promotes the conservative Burke directors, is different than the traditional conservatism known, a political philosophy that developed in the United States after the Second World War. These are organizations whose members reject the ideas of the right of the individual, individualism, liberalism and social progress. You are interested in “the permanent things” that takes still believe the company refused on the ground again to realize that the only thing standing changement.Comme is almost always the case with the conservative biased, intolerant, Folsom partially quotes taken out of context, and turn again, as he intends the program conservateur.Prenant word Folsom something to promote in this or any of his books, similar to a request from the Pope’s religion. You will receive a full dose of well-qualified religion. But it is to be Catholic and not much more. Rating: 1 / 5
