Ken Burns is a radical avowed leftist
It was the End of FDR’s policies that ended the depression, not the war
No thread discussing Ken Burns is complete without a pitch to go see “The Old Negro Space Program” documentary, which is done in his style.
On a cellphone, don’t have a link, but it’s easily found on YouTube.
Yes, I know what ended the Great Depression. I watched the series and at no time did Ken Burns say that FDR ended the Depression. He clearly showed that the ramp up to WWII is what ended the Depression. I watched specifically to see if he would say it but he didn’t say what everyone seems to think he said.
um.. FDR’s policies never end, and indeed have only been expanded upon over the decades.
Indeed, the implications of laying credit to the war has wide implications. It throws Austrian theory (and common sense) out the window. How is diverting productive capacity to things that don’t increase wealth and in fact destroy real wealth create a better economy?
