"When the New Deal was over, capitalism remained intact. The rich still controlled the nation's wealth, as well as its laws, courts, police, newspaper, churches, colleges. Enough help had been given to enough people to make Roosevelt a hero to millions, but the same system that had brought depression and crisis - the system of waste, inequality, of concern for profit over human need - remained." -- Howard Zinn, historian, A People's History of the United States, 1999
"Most of Roosevelt's solutions did little. The public hoopla of 'job programs' barely dented unemployment numbers, which still stood at 12.5% in 1939, or ten times what they had been under Coolidge... Did FDR do anything right? Yes. By taking the United States off the gold standard, he saved what was left of the banking system. But as they say, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while." - Larry Schweikart, historian, 48 Liberal Lies About American History, 2008
