The book provides a compelling analysis of U.S. political economy from the 1930s to the end of the Cold War, challenging widely held beliefs about the Great Depression, the New Deal, and the wartime economy. It explores key questions regarding the prolonged impact of the Great Depression, the shift in government-business relations during World War II, and Congress's involvement in the military-industrial complex. By combining new insights with statistical evidence, it offers a fresh perspective on economic history that contradicts mainstream narratives.
