The Forgotten Man
A very good read. Thank you.
Good book!
Overall a great take on the depression. Rambles a bit and is occasionally overly dramatic to emphasize it's point, but an accurate assessment of why the depression just would not end. I am sure many will see some parallels to the great recession. Interesting thoughts but requires way more analysis to support those theories.
