Quotes by Amity Shlaes

“Who is the forgotten man...? I know him as intimately as my own undershirt. He is the fellow that is trying to get along without public relief... In the meantime the taxpayers go on supporting many that would not work if they had jobs.”
― Amity Shlaes, The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression
