That rare thing - an original, readable, compelling book about economic depression and how politicians can make things worse. The Forgotten Man by Amity Shlaes is a counterintuitive study of the Wall Street Crash and how politics turned chaos into crisis * The Times * Amity Shlaes not only manages to keep you wide awake, she also sets your blood to boiling. Even if you don't always agree with her conclusions, she defines the debate over what we ought to do and gets you thinking constructively about the problems she identifies * New York Times * Combines the lively narrative style of a first-rate journalist with the careful scholarship of a born historian. But her book is much more than an enjoyable narrative. It is a highly original reinterpretation that turns the received wisdom about the Depression on its head * Sunday Telegraph * Readers have waited eagerly for this book for decades. Amity Shlaes has delivered it -- Paul Johnson Amity Shlaes' brilliant and highly readable book surely must be the best analysis of the Great Depression ever * Washington Times *
