In this major revisionist work on Franklin Roosevelt, Antony C. Sutton demonstrates that FDR was not against business - he just didn't like free competition. "FDR and his Wall Street circle were corporate socialists," maintains Sutton, "They believed in making society work - for themselves. Underneath the populist rhetoric, FDR was an elitist who influenced public policy to benefit special interests, the most special of whom was himself."
