A windmill Tabarrok is
November 9th, 2008Delong thinks the WSJ article and Prof. Tabarrok’s post are about:
What did the New Deal do to relieve economic distress–i.e., was the New Deal a failure?
They’re not. The WSJ article is about Hoover being a tool and Roosevelt prolonging the depression (which isn’t to say the New Deal, on net, was a bad thing). Tabarrok’s post was about neither of those things.
We live on a strange, strange planet.
