What they never tell you about FDR and how he ended the Great Depression

In a series of symposia focusing on the question: “How has China brought 800 million people out of poverty over the past 40 years – with 100 million brought out of poverty since 2012?” we have contrasted the current economic decline of the US with the exact opposite trend in China.

Tonight's Symposium (January 27th) will celebrate the 141st birthday of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and ask the same question we asked concerning China: How did FDR pull the country out of the Great Depression?

In his inaugural address in 1933, FDR discussed the crisis this way:

“… The money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We may now restore that temple to the ancient truths. The measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit.

“Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. The joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days will be worth all they cost us if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered unto but to minister to ourselves and to our fellow men. …

“Our greatest primary task is to put people to work. … "

Tonight's presentation will be made by Richard Freeman of the Executive Intelligence Review who has written extensively on the actions of FDR, including in a 2002 three-part series entitled “Why Roosevelt’s Explosive 1933-45 Recovery Worked.”
