Douglas Irwin, Professor of Economics, Dartmouth College
If you think the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing after the Great Recession of 2009 was unusual and controversial, wait until you hear about what Franklin Roosevelt did in the 1930s. Eric Rauchway has given us a lucid and penetrating account of the monetary policies of the New Deal and how it helped to bring about economic recovery from the Great Depression.”
Brad DeLong, Professor of Economics, University of California, Berkeley
Eric Rauchway's The Money Makers is one of the very best books to read to understand our economy today. It tells the story of how Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the people who worked for him pragmatically experimenting with institutional redesign, reinforcing success, dropping failure, focusing on what worked refuted via action the ideologues of the left and the right who to this day condemn his New Deal as ineffective or destructive.”
Barry Eichengreen, Professor of Economics and Political Science, University of California, Berkeley
Monetary policy got the United States into the Great Depression, but monetary policy also got it out. Eric Rauchway brings that tale alive by describing the adventures of two most unlikely monetary escape artists: Franklin Delano Roosevelt and John Maynard Keynes. The 1930s will never look the same.”
