What’s your honest thoughts on this unique trio of presidents…
The more I look into this period…the more interesting it becomes Now it should be said that none of them were true libertarians obviously but this period is about the closest that we ever got… Harding was the first president to present the ideologies of non interventionism and laissez Faire into his polices (harding unfortunately was involved with corruption in his administration and died pretty quick) Coolidge solidified hardings policies and added his own policies too(which are often viewed as being very libertarian) coolidge is often refered to as being the most ideologically libertarian president ever seen. He had a budget surplus in every single year of his administration which has never been accomplished since ,the performance of the economy in his time has also never been seen again (there’s a reason they call it the “roaring 20s”) Hoover unfortunately entered into a presidency that was at the wrong place and wrong time (the great depression) and unfortunately didn’t deal with it very well however prior to his presidency,he served both harding and cooldge as an incredible secretary of commerce who did incredible humanitarian work and he himself became extremely popular in the country Coolidge is often blamed for causing the great depression which is far from the truth…the great depression was almost an independent event that was bound to happen and there’s a great many factors that contribute to such events ,solely blaming it on one president’s polices is not right! submitted by /u/TranscendentSentinel [link] [comments]
