If you purchase Kindle version of this book, you deprive yourself of using it as doorstop. Yes, I have not read book. However, I did read USNWR article and Amazon book reviews. It is book written by poli-sci law professor and financial planner/finance professor. It is not economic paper published by recognized journal.
Any president would have looked good following Hoover. He had misfortune of being president when stock market collapsed. Aside, Hoover and Carter prove that engineers make horrible leaders. Furthermore, Nixon lead during initial Arab oil crisis. Energy became permanently more expensive after 1973. George W. Bush lead US after 9/11 tragedy. The economic carnage from that day continues today.
My parting factoid is no sitting president has been reelected since FDR with unemployment above 7.2 percent.
