This Flashback Friday is from episode 245, published last Feb 26, 2012.  Jason interviews author, Amity Shlaes, about her book, “The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression.” Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke of the forgotten man as the man at the bottom of the economic pyramid, the poor man, the homeless man. Miss Shlaes explains that there is another forgotten man, the taxpayer, based on an algebraic description by William Graham Sumner. Jason and Miss Shlaes explore the concept that the Great Depression was man-made, that the Federal government suppressed the economy and the markets, which slowed recovery. A zombie-like economy has ensued in America, very similar to what happened with Japan's economic downfall, which is still recovering two decades later. Miss Shlaes also shares how the collective or community aspect, particularly farms, encouraged and funded by the government, did not work because of bad stewardship – nobody cared about anything because nobody owned anything. In order for people to care and succeed, they must be allowed to own property, own businesses, and own their homes. Amity Shlaes and Jason move on to discuss “The Greedy Hand,” as it refers to taxation. As Miss Shlaes researched the history of The Greedy Hand, she found that Americans initially resisted tax withholding, that it was not just accepted. Over time, taxation has become extremely complex, and the best solution would be to simplify it again. Miss Shlaes also shares her predictions on inflation for 2012. She encourages people to read, to educate themselves and their children. Amity Shlaes is a syndicated columnist for Bloomberg and a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. In addition to writing on political economy, she writes on taxes. She is a contributor to Marketplace, the public radio show. She has appeared on numerous radio and television shows over the years. Miss Shlaes was formerly a columnist for the Financial Times and, before that a member of the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal, specializing in economics. In the early 1990s she served as the Journal's features, or "op ed" editor. Prior to that, she followed the collapse of communism for the Wall Street Journal/Europe. Over the years she has published in the National Review, the New Republic, Foreign Affairs (on the German economy), the American Spectator, the Suddeutsche Zeitung and Die Zeit. In 2002, she contributed an article on the US tax code to the thirtieth anniversary anthology of Tax Notes, the scholarly journal. Miss Shlaes has twice been a finalist for the Loeb Prize in commentary, her field's best known prize. In 2002, she was co-winner of the Frederic Bastiat Prize, an international prize for writing on political economy. In 2003, she spent several months at the American Academy in Berlin as the JP Morgan Fellow for finance and economy.     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

In this episode of ITR Live, host Chris Hagenow and regular guest John Hendrickson welcome Amity Shlaes, a distinguished historian and leading expert on economic history. The conversation delves into the enduring significance of Presidents Calvin Coolidge and Warren Harding, exploring their relevance in today's political and economic landscape. Shlaes highlights the fiscal conservatism that defined their administrations, emphasizing the importance of limited government, balanced budgets, and economic growth. The discussion underscores how their leadership, particularly through the 1920 Republican platform, navigated the country out of debt and uncertainty following World War I. A key figure in this historical narrative is Andrew Mellon, Treasury Secretary under Harding and Coolidge. Shlaes explains Mellon's innovative tax policies, which demonstrated how lowering tax rates could stimulate economic activity, ultimately increasing government revenue—a principle echoed in modern conservative fiscal policy. Mellon's technical expertise in managing the national debt and his clear communication with the public earned him the trust necessary to implement bold financial reforms. The episode also addresses the challenges of promoting fiscal responsibility in modern politics. Hagenow and Shlaes discuss how the federal government's current debt crisis parallels the 1920s, underscoring the need for trust in leadership. Coolidge's honesty and transparency, as well as his ability to clearly articulate the benefits of fiscal restraint, are presented as a model for today's leaders. At the state level, the conversation celebrates Iowa's fiscal discipline under Governor Kim Reynolds, showcasing how states can lead by example in responsible governance. Shlaes notes that states, unlike the federal government, must balance their budgets, and their competitive nature can drive innovation and fiscal responsibility. The discussion also contrasts conservative and progressive economic philosophies, particularly around the legacy of the New Deal. Shlaes critiques the New Deal's long-term impact, arguing that its policies did not achieve the recovery often attributed to them. Instead, she emphasizes the importance of evidence-based policymaking and the role of states in fostering economic growth. Listeners are encouraged to explore the work of the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation, which aims to educate future generations on the value of fiscal conservatism. The foundation's scholarship program provides a full ride to any college and introduces students to Coolidge's principles, emphasizing that Americans have a deep-seated capacity for responsibility and good governance. This episode offers a thought-provoking exploration of how lessons from the past can guide modern policy, highlighting the relevance of historical fiscal strategies in addressing contemporary economic challenges.

Sunday, February 25, conculdes our exploration of Coolidge's life and presidency with Amity Shlaes, Chair, Officers and Trustees of the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation.

In the wake of a pandemic and amidst deep partisan divisions and a looming budgetary crisis, Calvin Coolidge faced monumental challenges when he assumed the presidency following the abrupt death of his predecessor Warren G. Harding in 1923. From the Boston Police Strike to the rapid social and economic changes of the Roaring Twenties, Coolidge's political career spanned and was marked by continuous upheaval in American life. In conversation with David M. Rubenstein, Amity Shlaes explores the personal and political characteristics that define Coolidge's career and legacy.

David is joined this week by economic historian Amity Shlaes for a discussion on her new project, "New Deal Rebels," an anthology of anti-New-Deal writings done during the actual New Deal. Defenders of free enterprise and a constitutional republic would be wise to understand the era that seemed to deeply transform the state's relationship to the economy in American life. Many will find the connections to challenges and conversations of today eerie. If you are more inclined to federalism and market prosperity than you are to the “appeal to vanity” that is New-Deal thinking, this is a podcast episode for you!

The next time you enjoy a leisurely Saturday, thank President Calvin Coolidge. The transition from a six-day work week to a five-day work week occurred under Coolidge's presidency, an interesting footnote in American history. More importantly though, is why that came to be. Coolidge believed that smaller government and lower taxes would unleash American industry, creating more efficiency and greater productivity. Turns out, he was right. Amity Shlaes is our guest on this episode of Voices of Freedom. She has made it her mission to elevate Silent Cal's presidency to enhance an understanding of why prosperity and civility flourished under his steady leadership. Shlaes chairs the board of the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation, the official foundation dedicated to preserving and promoting the legacy of America's 30th president. Topics discussed by Amity Shlaes and Rick Graber, President and CEO of The Bradley Foundation, include:   ·         Why President Coolidge should be ranked among America's top ten presidents ·         This year's centennial celebration of Coolidge's inauguration ·         Coolidge isn't taught in America's classrooms - but he should be ·         Coolidge's most important domestic policies ·         How Coolidge's humble upbringing shaped his character and beliefs ·         The story behind the opponents of the New Deal and the nature of successful rebellion ·         Government growth during a crisis and cancel culture's presence in the New Deal era ·         The rising support for unions among the right ·         How to inspire inquiry among younger generations  Shlaes is the author of four New York Times bestsellers, including The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression. Her latest book, New Deal Rebels, looks at the story of American opposition to the New Deal. Shlaes was a syndicated columnist for ten years, first at the Financial Times, then Bloomberg. Before that, she served as an editorial board member of The Wall Street Journal. Shlaes is also a winner of a 2021 Bradley Prize.

Amity Shlaes—Historian and Author of “Coolidge”, “The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression”, and “Great Society: A New History”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her recent Wall Street Journal editorial, “The Gilded Age Myth, Then and Now.” In the piece, Shales argues: “Everything old is new again, and blaming the rich for America's woes is no exception. The rise of progressivism before the turn of the 20th century was fueled by the perception that “robber barons” of industry and finance had earned their fortunes from their monopoly power that allowed them to exploit the poor and middle class… That thinking has re-emerged in the Democratic Party today, though this time it has its sights set on our economy's tech giants… The wealth created by industrialization, modern finance and communication has reduced poverty, elevated material well-being and promoted general prosperity. Economic growth isn't a zero-sum game.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-gilded-age-myth-then-and-now-income-inequality-progressive-movement-economic-output-507dbc69?mod=opinion_lead_pos5

Bill Gates has acquired a minority stake in Heineken Holding NV, the controlling shareholder of the world's second-largest brewer, for about $902 million. A report from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction found President Joe Biden's deadly Afghan withdrawal in 2021 left at least $7.2 billion worth of military equipment under Taliban control, including missiles, aircraft, biometric devices, and communications gear. According to historian and filmmaker Amity Shlaes, modern America under President Joe Biden is not all that different from the America that then-President Calvin Coolidge, a Republican, faced when he took office in 1923.

On this special President's Day episode, host Winston Brady interviews Amity Shlaes, author of four New York Times-bestsellers and Chairman of the Board of the Calvin Coolidge Foundation, to celebrate the life and example of President Calvin Coolidge. On President's Day, we focus on those presidents who accomplished great deeds for their country: men like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln, among others, who led the country through times of great crisis and hardship. Often, President Calvin Coolidge is overlooked amongst such notable leaders because his presidency did not include such events, but his life and example, as well as the genuine prosperity that occurred during his presidency, merit President Coolidge being celebrated on such occasions as President's Day. As president, Coolidge believed that his role was to step back and refrain from doing anything that might limit the opportunities of individual Americans to pursue their natural, God-given rights of life, liberty, and happiness. Check out this episode celebrating the life and example of Calvin Coolidge, and be sure to look into the Calvin Coolidge Foundation.

Dennis Prager. Take Your Kids out of Public School, Secular Blind Faith, 3 Prager U Videos, U.S. Armed Forces Becoming Depopulated. Dennis Prager Podcasts Blind Faith  Jul 25 2022   Dennis is in Miami for the week. Miami is known this time of year for its oppressive heat and humidity, but it's very livable now. Why? The answer is energy supplied by fossil fuel. Religious people are dismissed because they have “blind faith.” But there is no faith as blind as that of secular people. Their faith the world is going to burn up from carbon emissions in 10, 20 or 50 years has no religious parallel… Many now have blind faith in the Covid vaccines even though there is more and more evidence that they either don't work or are unnecessary or even potentially harmful for most people… Dennis talks to Amity Shlaes, Chair of the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation and author of Coolidge. She presents two of this week's three PragerU videos on The Jazz Age Presidents: Harding and Coolidge. The third video is Hoover (presented by Kenneth Whyte). The US Armed Forces are, like police departments, becoming depopulated. Who is to blame? Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

It's a must-read that every person, religious and non-religious, should buy and peruse every night before bed. It'll make you think harder, pray more ardently, and understand your civilization better." — Ben Shapiro, host of "The Ben Shapiro Show" "Dennis Prager's commentary on Exodus will rank among the greatest modern Torah commentaries. That is how important I think it is. And I am clearly not alone... It might well be on its way to becoming the most widely read Torah commentary of our time—and by non-Jews as well as by Jews." — Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, bestselling author of Jewish Literacy Why do so many people think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is outdated? Why do our friends and neighbors – and sometimes we ourselves – dismiss the Bible as irrelevant, irrational, immoral, or all of these things? This explanation of the Book of Exodus, the second book of the Bible, will demonstrate that the Bible is not only powerfully relevant to today's issues, but completely consistent with rational thought. Do you think the Bible permitted the trans-Atlantic slave trade? You won't after reading this book. Do you struggle to love your parents? If you do, you need this book. Do you doubt the existence of God because belief in God is “irrational?” This book will give you reason after reason to rethink your doubts. The title of this commentary is, “The Rational Bible” because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader is never asked to accept anything on faith alone. As Prager says, “If something I write does not make rational sense, I have not done my job.” The Rational Bible is the fruit of Dennis Prager's forty years of teaching the Bible to people of every faith, and no faith. On virtually every page, you will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world and to your life. His goal: to change your mind – and then change your life.   Highly Recommended by ACU. Purchase his book at- https://www.amazon.com/Rational-Bible-Exodus-Dennis-Prager/dp/1621577724   The Rational Bible: Genesis by Dennis Prager  USA Today bestseller Publishers Weekly bestseller Wall Street Journal bestseller Many people today think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is not only outdated but irrelevant, irrational, and even immoral. This explanation of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, demonstrates clearly and powerfully that the opposite is true. The Bible remains profoundly relevant—both to the great issues of our day and to each individual life. It is the greatest moral guide and source of wisdom ever written. Do you doubt the existence of God because you think believing in God is irrational? This book will give you many reasons to rethink your doubts. Do you think faith and science are in conflict? You won't after reading this commentary on Genesis. Do you come from a dysfunctional family? It may comfort you to know that every family discussed in Genesis was highly dysfunctional! The title of this commentary is “The Rational Bible” because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader is never asked to accept anything on faith alone. In Dennis Prager's words, “If something I write is not rational, I have not done my job.” The Rational Bible is the fruit of Dennis Prager's forty years of teaching the Bible—whose Hebrew grammar and vocabulary he has mastered—to people of every faith and no faith at all. On virtually every page, you will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world in general and to you personally. His goal: to change your mind—and, as a result, to change your life.

Americans today place enormous pressure on presidents to do “something" when there is a national crisis. But our 30th president Calvin Coolidge did “nothing” ...other than shrink the government. The result? America's economy boomed. Is there a lesson to be learned? Renowned historian Amity Shlaes thinks there is. Donate today to help keeps PragerU podcasts and videos free!

Warren Harding is not regarded as one of our most successful presidents. He's more likely to be remembered for his scandals than his accomplishments. But given the problems he had to confront — massive war debt, high unemployment, and skyrocketing inflation — is this harsh appraisal fair? Renowned historian Amity Shlaes takes a fresh look at our 29th president. Donate today to help keep PragerU podcasts and videos free! PragerU.com/donate
