Whatever their politics, they shall be fed!". The Russian famine of 1921–22 claimed 6 million people. In July 1922, Soviet author Maxim Gorky wrote to Hoover: He also put himself through Stanford. He was a gifted public servant he just got hosed by the circumstances he was in IMO.

Hoover also had the good sense to ignore his Treasury Seecretary.

He was terminally out of touch. And also was the one holding the hot potato when the time was up.

He was just open to ideas having seen what hadn't worked. fdr was good at finding appropriate people for the most part. like how he appointed the patriarch of the kennedy family to establish the SEC because kennedy was a financial criminal and he figured that was the exact person for figuring out how to catch them also i get the impression that felix frankfurter was his wurmtongue, at least in the early years

Disinterested posted:keith is a terrible name Objectively true. Only Keith David is allowed to have that name and be taken seriously. Disinterested posted:It's not like FDR knew dick about the economy either. He was just open to ideas having seen what hadn't worked. Well, to be fair, he did learn some valuable lessons as Governor of NY, ie: that deficit spending in a recession or depression is a smart thing to do if it's done wisely. But I mostly agree - what he did well was thinking outside the box and nominating people who understood the economy better than he did.

Even to that extent he was an amateur experimentalist, he didn't give a gently caress about trying to understand why spending or not had an effect on the economy.

Well, but why should he? He was interested in finding something that worked, and thankfully he did. I'm not saying he was a great theoretical mind, because obviously he wasn't. But he clearly was the right person for the task.

My only point was that he was not economically literate and that his economic accomplishments don't really stem from any meaningful knowledge of economics.
