Thisbook was Hoovers answer to the New Deal; a plea for restraint againstgovernment intervention in the collapsing American economy

FollowingFranklin Roosevelts victory in the presidential election of 1932, HerbertHoover retired to write this challenge to the New Deal, in which he"maintained that the New Dealers had abandoned the heritage of libertyin leading the country on a futile quest for security. Condemning the growthof regimentation, bureaucracy and centralization… Hoover raised an importantissue when he claimed that big government would attempt to protect itself fromcriticism by blocking the free flow of information and therefore represented aninsidious threat to freedom of speech and the press"
