How We Got Here Part 1: FDR was the Start of it All

I use a brilliant essay from 1938 entitled 'The Revolution Was', written by journalist Garet Garrett to demonstrate how our government was already subjected to a 'revolution' by FDR.

In this first video of the series, I introduce the idea that The New Deal was first and last a power grab by government what created and empowered the vast administrative state many call ‘The Deep State’ today.

The essay can be found here: https://archive.org/details/garet-garrett-the-revolution-was/page/5/mode/1up?view=theater

What shocked me was how similar he felt to many of us today, and how clearly he describes the ‘revolution’ that already occurred in the economics/material aspects of our society.
