Wall Street and FDR
Antony C. Sutton

In a previous book, "Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution," the association of Wall Street international bankers and the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution was traced in some detail. "Wall Street and FDR" is a sequel to this earlier volume. Bankers were also associated with Franklin Delano Roosevelt between 1917 and 1934, as well as with the promotion of Roosevelt's New Deal and the rise of corporate socialism in the United States.

The evidence, based largely on FDR's own papers, suggests that there is nothing inevitable about the march of socialism. Socialism is the most inefficient, and certainly the most inequitable, way to run a society ever conceived by man. It has come to the United States only because it is very much in the interest of the Wall Street financial establishment to attain a socialists society.

How this was brought about in the Roosevelt era is the story of this book.
