Designs Within Disorder

Meer over het boek

The book explores Franklin D. Roosevelt's reliance on economic theories to address the Great Depression, mobilize for war, and establish a postwar order. It examines the competition among various economic perspectives that influenced his policy decisions during a time of significant economic and intellectual transformation. Roosevelt's initiatives not only redefined the American economy and government roles but also reshaped the discipline of economics itself, with many of his policies remaining influential for decades.
