According to Higgs, Roosevelts New Deal led business leaders to question whether the current regime of private property rights in their firms capital and its income stream would be protected. They became less willing, therefore, to invest in assets with long lives. Roosevelt had first suspended the antitrust laws so that American businesses would cooperate in government-instigated cartels; he then switched to using the antitrust laws to prosecute firms for cooperating. Business is the enemy of the state, unless it cooperates. Here we go again.
BTW if anyone accuses you of being a blogpimp, ignore them. I get so tired of that accusation by some of the sacred "insiders" here.

The History of The Greater Depression is being written every day.
It was the best of times.
It was the worst of times.
It was Bush's fault.

This revisionist article echos decades of lamestream academic propaganda. No reference at all to the cogent analysis of Von Mises, Hayek, or Rothbard. Skip reading this statist claptrap and invest your time in “America’s Great Depression” by Murray Rothbard. If you have no time for such a lengthly tome... try “Economics in One Lesson” by Henry Hazlitt.
An overarching analysis of the framework of liberty and freedom worth owning is “The Constitution of Liberty” by Hayek.

Whether by the tyranny of the "democratic" majority or via "corporate" servitude to the bottom line, the result is still the same: Subjugation of disposable individuals for the collective "good".

Listen for the Obama Administration to call for more ‘public-private’ partnerships.
When I first heard him utter the words, it sent chills up my spine. (Also occured when Obama called for a ‘government guided invisible hand’. What a jerk)

Got McFeudalism?
Reminds me of similar Soviet "enterprises" built upon the foundation of a military industrial complex. How'd that all work out again?
Not with a bang but a whimper...

Author’s conclusion is that it took the draft to end unemployment. One benefit that survived Roosevelt was that our industrial capacity was retained and resurrected for WW II production. Something that is highly doubtful today given our reliance on China, Germany and Japan for manufacturing. The irony of it all. War anyone?
