Franklin D. Roosevelt drew heavily on the thinking of economists as he sought to combat the Great Depression, to mobilize the American economy for war, and to chart a new order for the post-war world. This 1996 book explains how divergent analytic perspectives competed for official favour and the manner in which Roosevelt opted to pick and choose among them when formulating economic policies.
