Description

|
|
|
The author of New Deal or Raw Deal?, Burton Folsom continues his revisionist approach toward the financial policies of Franklin Roosevelt in this book, cowritten with his wife Anita Folsom, a columnist for The Freeman. At a time when most Americans held isolationist sentiments, they argue, Roosevelt secretly favored an aggressive interventionist foreign policy, and they challenge the accepted thought that the wartime economy was a boon, pointing to skyrocketing national debt, food rations, nonexistent luxuries, crippling taxes, labor strikes, and life-threatening occupational hazards. The Folsoms deem Roosevelt's wartime legacy destructive, and here examine its adverse impact on America's economic and foreign policies today.
