Need a way to educate someone without handing them a "book" book?
Give them this. Amity Shlaes' "The Forgotten Man" is a true history of the Depression and how Roosevelt made a bad situation worse...and how he doubled down on the problems that Hoover created with government intervention.
The “book” book was a fine read. Looking forward to this one as well....
For later. Thanks.
The adapters are Chuck Dixon and Paul Rivoche, who hail from comic books. Dixon is a great writer (and staunch conservative), so I have confidence in this adaptation. I don’t know much about Rivoche, but the art looks good. Adding this to my “wish list” on Amazon!
I have this. Sorry, but it’s impenetrable, unreadable, and beyond bizarre. I hope no one attempts anything remotely like this ever again, on this planet or any other.
The first paragraph:
The type and formula of most schemes of philanthropy or humanitarianism is this: A and B put their heads together to decide what C shall be made to do for D. The radical vice of all these schemes, from a sociological point of view, is that C is not allowed a voice in the matter, and his position, character, and interests, as well as the ultimate effects on society through C's interests, are entirely overlooked. I call C the Forgotten Man.
