American Default
The Untold Story of FDR, the Supreme Court, and the Battle over Gold
Sebastian Edwards
Discover the untold story of how Franklin D. Roosevelt saved the American economy during the Great Depression by defaulting on U.S. debt. In American Default, Sebastian Edwards masterfully recounts the economic and legal drama that embroiled the nation as FDR revalued the U.S. dollar and annulled debt contracts retroactively. Though risky, his unprecedented actions proved successful at getting people back to work. A must-read for anyone interested in economics or American history.
