Historia
Acclaimed historian Heather Cox Richardson traces the shifting ideology of the Republican Party from the antebellum era to the Great Recession. While progressive Republicans like Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower revived Lincoln’s vision and expanded the government, their opponents appealed to Americans’ latent racism and xenophobia to regain political power, linking taxation and regulation to redistribution and socialism. In the modern era, the schism within the Republican Party has grown wider, pulling the GOP ever further from its founding principles.

Who invented supply-side economics - the idea that cutting tax rates can result in more growth, more prosperity at all income levels, and even more tax revenue flowing into the IRS? Most people would credit the economic team that advised Ronald Reagan in the late 1970s and early 1980s. But in fact supply-side economics came of age two decades earlier. And the first president who embraced it was one of the biggest icons of the Democratic Party - John F. Kennedy.

Long before the "culture wars" usually associated with the rise of conservative politics, driven individuals funded think tanks, fought labor unions, and formed organizations to market their views.These nearly unknown, larger-than-life, and sometimes eccentric personalities - such as General Electric's zealous, silver-tongued Lemuel Ricketts Boulware and the self-described "revolutionary" Jasper Crane of DuPont - make for a fascinating, behind-the-scenes view of American history.

Hostile Takeover is a rebellious challenge to the "upper management" of government, who are choking American prosperity and liberty. Matt Kibbe exposes the privileged collusion of Washington insiders - and maps out a proven plan for how to return power from the self-appointed "experts" back to the people. Dubbed "one of the Tea Party's masterminds" by Newsweek, Kibbe reveals how grassroots citizens can and will check the federal behemoth and restore the American enterprise.

In the words of Harvard economist Niall Ferguson, the United States is “an empire on the edge of chaos.” Why? Glenn Beck thinks the answer is pretty simple: Because we’ve turned our backs on the Constitution. Yes, our country is financially broke, but that’s just a side effect of our broken spirit, our broken faith in government, the broken promises by our leaders, and a broken political system that has centralized power at the expense of individual rights.

Texas may well be America’s most controversial state. Evangelicals dominate the halls of power, millions of its people live in poverty, and its death row is the busiest in the country. Skeptical outsiders have found much to be offended by in the state’s politics and attitude, and yet, according to journalist and Texan Erica Grieder, the United States has a great deal to learn from Texas. In Big, Hot, Cheap, and Right, Grieder traces the political history of a state that was always larger than life. From its rowdy beginnings, Texas has combined a long-standing suspicion of government intrusion with a passion for business.

A tour de force of historical reportage, America’s Bank illuminates the tumultuous era and remarkable personalities that spurred the unlikely birth of America’s modern central bank, the Federal Reserve. Today, the Fed is the bedrock of the financial landscape, yet the fight to create it was so protracted and divisive that it seems a small miracle that it was ever established. For nearly a century, America, alone among developed nations, refused to consider any central or organizing agency in its financial system.

Conventional political wisdom views the two most consequential presidents of the 20th century - FDR and Ronald Reagan - as ideological opposites. FDR is hailed as the champion of big-government progressivism manifested in the New Deal. Reagan is seen as the crusader for conservatism dedicated to small government and free markets. But Henry Olsen argues that this assumption is wrong.

Trickle Up Poverty is your best defense against the Obamanomics that are dragging the middle class, and everyone else, into a Marxist-Socialist death spiral. The Savage manifesto you hold in your hands shows how Obama is circumventing the Constitution to push through his radical agenda - and, most important, how we can restore our country to the power and prestige that Barack Obama and his corrupt and degenerate "czars" are trying to destroy.

Shattering myths and politically correct lies, he tells why World War II didn't help the economy or get us out of the Great Depression; why it took FDR to make the Depression "Great"; and why Herbert Hoover was more like Obama and less like Bush than the liberal media would have you believe.

In Great Society, Shlaes offers a powerful companion to her legendary history of the 1930s, The Forgotten Man, and shows that in fact there was scant difference between two presidents we consider opposites: Johnson and Nixon. Just as technocratic military planning by "the Best and the Brightest" made failure in Vietnam inevitable, so planning by a team of the domestic best and brightest guaranteed fiasco at home. At once history and biography, Great Society sketches moving portraits of the characters in this transformative period.

It's difficult today to imagine how America survived the Great Depression. Only through the stories of the common people who struggled during that era can we really understand how the nation endured. In The Forgotten Man, Amity Shlaes offers a striking reinterpretation of the Great Depression. Rejecting the old emphasis on the New Deal, she turns to the neglected and moving stories of individual Americans, and shows how they helped establish the steadfast character we developed as a nation.

Historia
FDR Goes to War expands on the premise that FDR's legacy has damaged America and helped lay the groundwork for the current economic crisis.
The Folsoms continue to expose the idyllic legend of Franklin D. Roosevelt as a myth of epic proportions. Many government programs that are widely used today have their seeds in the New Deal.

Historia
In this timely new P.I . Guide, Murphy reveals the stark truth: free market failure didn't cause the Great Depression and the New Deal didn't cure it. Shattering myths and politically correct lies, he tells why World War II didn't help the economy or get us out of the Great Depression; why it took FDR to make the Depression "Great"; and why Herbert Hoover was more like Obama and less like Bush than the liberal media would have you believe.

Historia
In Great Society, Shlaes offers a powerful companion to her legendary history of the 1930s, The Forgotten Man, and shows that in fact there was scant difference between two presidents we consider opposites: Johnson and Nixon. Just as technocratic military planning by "the Best and the Brightest" made failure in Vietnam inevitable, so planning by a team of the domestic best and brightest guaranteed fiasco at home. At once history and biography, Great Society sketches moving portraits of the characters in this transformative period.

FDR, One Our Best Presidents? Ridiculous!
Policy initiated by Woodrow Wilson and expanded greatly by FDR continue to haunt our nation. Voters not demanding character in the people in political office, will ultimately result in all of us paying a huge price in the loss of liberty. This is a great book that points out the fallacy of the great New Deal programmed that the conman FDR jammed down the throats of American citizens. Corruption at the maximum. I can't wait for someone to tell me how great FDR. That person will get an education.

Eye Opening
I cannot believe how little I knew about the great depression. This book told me more about what is going on today than anything you will learn from the news.

A must listen!
This was one of the more interesting and well researched books I have listened to this year. As I was listening I was so surprised at some of the information in the book that I stopped listening so I could do some independent research before continuing to listen. Frankly, I just didn't believe some of the stuff could have gone on in this supposedly free country but it was easy enough to confirm the facts in the book. I'm shocked to find myself so uneducated about this time period, being a college grad and having taken US history in college, read numerous books about the depression era and even a bio or two of FDR. Everyone should read or listen to this book as it provides an excellent analysis of how FDR extended the depression with insane price controls that landed small business people in jail if they didn't follow them. Talk about micromanaging. The government told dry cleaners how much they could charge for cleaning a shirt. They told people who sold chickens how to sell chickens and that people were not allowed to select the chickens they wanted to buy. (They had to take the first one they happened to touch). Eventually, this policy and other policies of Roosevelt's administration went before the Supreme Court and was overturned. Roosevelt apparently got reelected because he managed to get so many citizens dependent upon the government that they couldn't risk not voting for him. This is a book I will listen to more than once. Narration is also very good.

Much-needed revisionist account of FDR
Great story- telling, filled with facts, quotes, and anecdotes. Makes a compelling case and leaves you wondering when, if ever, this retelling will finally break into the average college US history class.

enlightening but biased
Very interesting to hear details about the ridiculous programs started by FDR and their impact on the country during the depression. This sort of retrospection is vital to preventing similar debacles during the current economic slump.
I have very conservative views - but this book was a little too biased in my opinion. It's great to point out that FDR may have abused the IRS in targeting political opposition, but when someone was legitimately caught by such an investigation i think the author was unreasonable to say essentially ... so-and-so was found to owe X-million dollars in taxes and fines, and Roosevelt wouldn't even cut him a break.... Why would he? That sort of comment weakens the book and makes me wonder what else might be spun a bit too much.
The strong bias cost it a star, but it's a good listen with a great narrator.

A true account of the New Deal
I was lucky to have known a person who was born before the progressive movement, my grandfather. He did not talk much politics but when he did I listened. He never had a kind word for FDR. I heard first hand tales of corruption and waste from an eye witness in Philadelphia. The book New Deal or Raw Deal confirmed what I as taught as a child. At last the truth is told. FDRs New Deal did not end the depression.

Obama / FDR!
Great book! You can't find this info many places today. This book will open your eyes to Obama's change. A change that started in 1932!

Uncomfortable history for some
Where does New Deal or Raw Deal? rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Of the dozen or so books I have listened to this ranks in the top three.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I can tell you who my least favorite character was - FDR.
What about Alan Sklar’s performance did you like?
Mr. Sklar's presentation was flawless and easy to listen to.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The telling of how FDR would set the price of gold - no basis just whims. His blatant racism and lack of care for people - totally opposite of what is taught.
Any additional comments?
If you take the politics out of the New Deal - you would not have any deal. The New Deal extended the Great Depression by years as it was just one big experiment by an egotist who did not have a clue except how to manipulate. Those on the left would have a tough time listening or reading this book but it is worthwhile history.
