“Coolidge prided himself in not letting laws get through.” A Conversation with Amity Shlaes on Calvin Coolidge

With the Bark Off: Conversations on the American Presidency

My guest today is Amity Shlaes, a well-known columnist for the Financial Times and Forbes magazine and a former member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board. She's also one of America's premier economic historians. Shlaes has published six books to date, including Great Society: A New History and The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression.

She joins us to talk about her biography of America's 30th President, Calvin Coolidge.
