Statist Policy and the Great Depression

Statist Policy and the Great Depression

Posted on September 17, 2014

It’s difficult to promote good economic policy when some policy makers have a deeply flawed grasp of history. This is why I’ve tried to educate people, for instance, that government intervention bears the blame for the 2008 financial crisis, not capitalism or deregulation. Going back in time, I’ve also explained the truth about “sweatshops” and “robber barons.” […]

Herbert Hoover’s Anti-Market Policies Helped Turn an Economic Downturn into a Great Depression

Posted on July 1, 2014

There have been many truly awful presidents elected in the United States, but if I had to pick my least favorite, I might choose Herbert Hoover. I obviously have disdain for Hoover’s big-government policies, but I also am extremely irritated that – as Jonah Goldberg explained – he allowed the left to create an utterly bogus narrative […]

If Obama Beat Hoover, So What?

If Obama Beat Hoover, So What?

Posted on November 5, 2012

You know your record as President is abysmal when supporters are reduced to touting how much better you’ve done than Herbert Hoover.

Posted on October 13, 2012

I’ve explained on many occasions that Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal was bad news for the economy. And the same can be said of Herbert Hoover’s policies, since he also expanded the burden of federal spending, raised tax rates, and increased government intervention. So when I was specifically asked to take part in a symposium on […]

New Video Punctures Myths about Great Depression, Exposes Damaging Impact of Statist Policies by Hoover and FDR

Posted on December 12, 2011

I’ve commented many times about the misguided big-government policies of both Hoover and FDR, so I can say with considerable admiration that this video packs an amazing amount of solid info into about five minutes. Perhaps the most surprising bit of info in the video is that America suffered a harsh depression after World War […]

Posted on December 12, 2011

The latest “Economics 101” video released today by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation (CF&P), narrated by Michelle Fields, explains that most politicians have learned the wrong lessons from the Great Depression. Entitled, “The New Deal Was A Failure: Hoover and FDR Prolonged the Great Depression with Big Government,” the video illuminates, through a timely economic history lesson, the dangers of President Obama’s insistence on following in the footsteps of FDR.

The New Deal Was A Failure: Hoover and FDR Prolonged the Great Depression with Big Government

Posted on December 12, 2011

This mini-documentary from the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation explains how the statist policies of Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt lengthened and deepened the Great Depression. The video also briefly explains how reductions in the burden of government spending helped the economy recover from a deep recession after World War I and to grow after World War II.
