New Deal or Raw Deal?: How FDR's Economic Legacy Has Damaged America
Burton W., Jr. Folsom

and from reading the comments it looks like it would be a good book for learning how the New Deal programs of FDR were not all good for the economy.

Has anyone read it?

I'm holding out for Robert P. Murphy's Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression and the New Deal which comes out April 14th.

Murphy is an Austro-libertarian at the Ludwig von Mises Institute (same as Thomas Woods). His blog is here: http://consultingbyrpm.com/blog/
