Book Reviews of The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression
Book Review: Recession-Proof Reading
Summary: 5 Stars
Although *The Forgotten Man* was first published in 2007, it is very apropos of the moment we are now living in. For that alone it is worthwhile reading. But what's really great about it is how Amity Shlaes brings the people, and indeed the whole era, so vividly to life. She gets you involved with what was going on and shows what was tried and did/didn't work to get the economy under control. The book is very readable, not dry in the least, but intelligently written and obviously well researched. If you have a basic (or even just a vague) knowledge of the Great Depression, you will be happy you bought this book as it will give you a whole new view and a very enjoyable read. Highly recommended.
