Part of Roosevelt’s greatness (unlike the current regime) was to surround himself with greatness; with brilliant, innovative people he respected and listened to. Not least of all was Frances Perkins, who was the impetus behind most of Roosevelt’s social reforms. And placing a woman in his Cabinet placed him well ahead of his time. We now have a band of stooges who understand nothing - not history, economics, foreign policy, or any other issue critical to running a nation. It is sad to watch the destruction of all that Roosevelt and others accomplished. Our only goal should be to maintain the vision of post-WW II and push back without ceasing.
There is a captivating novel lifting up the life of Frances Perkins by Stephanie Dray titled "Becoming Madam Secretary". I had trouble putting it down.
The End of FDR's World is sobering. My hope is we can pick up the pieces and Move Forward Together into a bright unknown.
