And yet, according to recent polling data, the strategy isn’t working. Despite the best efforts of the perpetual demonization machine, Rasmussen finds the following: “On the general question of ‘nullification,’ 44 percent believe states should have the right to block any federal laws they disagree with on legal grounds. Thirty-six percent disagree and 20 are undecided.”

Brion is one of the professors in our course in American constitutional history, and he also helps teach our course in U.S. History to 1877. (These and our other courses are available for download to be enjoyed at your convenience.)

Someone on my Facebook page who was looking for a dissenting view on the Depression asked me for some book suggestions. Here are some popular-level treatments that do a good job:

Robert P. Murphy, The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression and the New Deal.

Jim Powell, FDR’s Folly. (Not entirely sound on the Fed, but very good otherwise.)

Burton Folsom, New Deal or Raw Deal? (Again, not completely sound on the Fed, but excellent otherwise.)

John T. Flynn, The Roosevelt Myth. This one is from 1948. A very interesting read. Flynn is not entirely sound on economics — he has a soft spot for Hoover, who was just Roosevelt lite — but you’ll find a lot of useful information here.

I recently read on a libertarian site that the reason this book never became a national bestseller is that it took direct aim at both the welfare state and the warfare state. Actually, The Roosevelt Myth hit number two on the New York Times bestseller list.

The New Deal section of David Stockman‘s book The Great Deformation has plenty of excellent material you won’t find in any of these other books, and I highly recommend it.

Finally, I don’t include Amity Shlaes‘ book The Forgotten Man because, although it is an absorbing and non-worshipful discussion of the material and critical in places, it isn’t really a critique of the New Deal.

If only he’d seen our resource page on Economic Cycles Before the Fed, instead of just repeating the same establishment argument every Fed opponent has heard a million times before.
