Miss Shlaes challenges much of the received wisdom and does it with brio and scholarship. Amity Shlaes takes no prisoners."

-Harold Evans, Author,
"They Made America"

"The Forgotten Man offers an understanding of the era's politics and economics that may be unprecedented in its clarity. Seldom has such a substantive work been such a delight to read. Were John Kenneth Galbraith and Milton Friedman to spend a century or two reconciling their positions so as to arrive at a clear view of the Great Depression, this would be it."
