I have very conservative views - but this book was a little too biased in my opinion. It's great to point out that FDR may have abused the IRS in targeting political opposition, but when someone was legitimately caught by such an investigation i think the author was unreasonable to say essentially ... so-and-so was found to owe X-million dollars in taxes and fines, and Roosevelt wouldn't even cut him a break.... Why would he? That sort of comment weakens the book and makes me wonder what else might be spun a bit too much.
The strong bias cost it a star, but it's a good listen with a great narrator.
enlightening but biased

Where does New Deal or Raw Deal? rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Of the dozen or so books I have listened to this ranks in the top three.Who was your favorite character and why?
I can tell you who my least favorite character was - FDR.What about Alan Sklar’s performance did you like?
Mr. Sklar's presentation was flawless and easy to listen to.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The telling of how FDR would set the price of gold - no basis just whims. His blatant racism and lack of care for people - totally opposite of what is taught.Any additional comments?
If you take the politics out of the New Deal - you would not have any deal. The New Deal extended the Great Depression by years as it was just one big experiment by an egotist who did not have a clue except how to manipulate. Those on the left would have a tough time listening or reading this book but it is worthwhile history.Uncomfortable history for some

My only complaint of the book is the author’s monetarist theory of the cause of the Depression (I prefer the Austrian analysis). But this does not detract from the overall book at all.
The voicing of this audiobook, however, was not very good. Alan Sklar has a voice that’s very easy to fall asleep to and sometimes has a weird inflection that doesn’t really fit the “attitude” of reading a book, if that makes sense. Worst of all, however, the breathing was not edited out for the most part and it became very annoying and hard to ignore once I noticed it.
Great book, bad voicing
