Calvin Coolidge never rated high in polls, and history has
remembered the decade in which he served as an extravagant period
predating the Great Depression. Amity Shlaes provides a fresh look
at the 1920s--triumphant years in which the nation electrified,
Americans drove their first cars, and the federal deficit was
replaced with a surplus--and the little-known president behind
them. Perhaps more than any other president, Coolidge understood
that doing less could yield more, reducing the federal budget even
as the economy grew, wages rose, taxes fell, and unemployment
dropped.
In this illuminating, magisterial biography, Amity Shlaes
captures the remarkable story of Calvin Coolidge and the decade of
extraordinary prosperity that grew from his leadership.
