One Man's Viewpoint

The other reviewer's a goof, Conkin's view was that the New Deal was a poor solution to a desperate period. He offers many criticisms and kind of contradicts himself. Like many of the New Left critics, he expects contemporaries to have foresight as keen as his hindsight. That said, he also has a good understanding of people and history, which outshines his blatant disliking of FDR. Good intro to a confusing subject. Unintentionally funny at times too. Also he specifically says that FDR was NOT PRAGMATIC. *** 1/2
