Looks like they're taking aim at Thomas Sowell who has spelled out the myth of FDR bringing us out of the Great Depression.

Excerpt:

The prevailing view in many quarters is that the stock market crash of 1929 was a failure of the free market that led to massive unemployment in the 1930s-- and that it was intervention of Roosevelt's New Deal policies that rescued the economy.

It is such a good story that it seems a pity to spoil it with facts.

Another Great Depression?
