Summary
 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.

Free-market believers and capitalists everywhere should listen to this.

I’ve read Rothbard, Bernanke & Friedman/Schwartz accounts of the Great Depression, hated Bernanke’s book & found myself agreeing with Rothbard’s take on the Great Depression. This book from Murphy is exceptional & gets right to the point & quotes all the books & resources used for his arguments. This is The easiest but most accurate explanation of the cause & solutions to the Great Depression.
