En savoir plus sur le livre

The book explores Franklin D. Roosevelt's reliance on economists to address the Great Depression, mobilize for war, and shape a postwar world. It examines the competition among various economic theories and how Roosevelt selected policies amidst two concurrent revolutions: a restructuring of the American economy and a redefinition of economic thought. The initiatives he implemented not only transformed government roles but also demonstrated enduring influence, lasting well beyond his presidency.
