Legends of President Herbert Hoover - How He Brought US into The Great Depression Under His Leadership… Taxes, Tariffs, and ? #882584

It is easy, from the safety of hindsight, to flatten history into caricature. Herbert Hoover, to most Americans, is little more than a punchline—a president whose name became synonymous with breadlines, broken banks, and the hollowed-out dreams of a nation.
If you mention Hoover today, you are more likely to summon images of "Hoovervilles" and dusty, desperate farmers than a living, breathing man who once stood at the helm of the world’s most promising economy.
But Hoover’s story is much stranger, and more troubling, than the simple tale of a man outmatched by events. This book is about that strange and troubling story.
It is about how one man, hailed as a genius administrator and humanitarian, managed—through a series of seemingly logical, well-intentioned decisions—to guide America into its greatest economic catastrophe.
It is about the way that leadership, when welded too tightly to ideology, can turn dangerous. It is about how taxes, tariffs, and spending—three words that sound so dry and unremarkable—can become the instruments of collapse.
