collapse of the market economy that generated fear in that 20 year period between the migration of franklin roosevelt and the inauguration of dwight d. eisenhower. weeks, just weeks, five weeks before roosevelt was elected -- sorry, was inaugurated as president, adolph hitler became chancellor of germany. and just 19 days after the roosevelt inauguration, the german reichstag voted to hand over all legislative power to the cabinet of the chance of hitler, thus beginning formally as in some sense legally the german dictatorship of the third reich. this is also a period where mussolini's dictatorship in rome was thought to be immensely successful. and it was a period in which many people around the globe, including a good many americans, admired the experiment in bolshevik russia under stalin. now, those dictatorships generated fear. they generated the fear that they were somehow superior to liberal representative democracies in solving big problems. after all, we in america, european countries like france and britain, have very complicated procedures that stood between a problem and it's solution. we

what was franklin delano roosevelt's answer to the needs of older americans? too many young people were untrained, uneducated, and unemployable. how could they get a place at the economic starting line? welfare reform. after 60 years of guaranteeing benefits to welfare recipients, the federal government wants them to go to work. has the new policy succeeded? we are the richest, most prosperous nation on earth.

every president since the one in the 1930s -- his name was roosevelt, franklin delano roosevelt -- every president since then has been a president when the economic system goes down. sometimes it only goes down for a few months. sometimes, like this one, for years. every president has done the following. he has said, if you do my policies, what i propose, not only will it get us out of this crisis, but it will make sure that no future crisis creates problems for our children. every president promised it. no president has yet delivered on that promise. that is why we have a crisis now, because the system does not know how, has not been able to solve this crisis -- these kinds of crises, and they sure as heck hasn't -- have not been able to prevent them. that is a reason to criticize the system that is working in this manner. what did the government do this time? what can we say about it? the first thing to say about it is, it hasn't worked. when this crisis first began to bubble up into thousand seven, the president at this time, george bush, promised us and repeated statements -- nothing

in the year before he died franklin roosevelt president franklin roosevelt suggested that the original bill of rights was a good start i mean in sixteen seventy four when john locke in his second treatise on government wrote about life liberty in a state the the right to own private property at that time people literally did not have the right to own private property while by seven hundred seventy six hundred years later jefferson did you know people had private property so jefferson said life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. so the original bill of rights franklin roosevelt said you know it's a pretty good stuff but there's been a lot of change during the enlightment there's been a couple of hundred years since then let's take it the next step and he suggested that you have that we should have we should in shrine and a second bill of rights and say you have the right to a job if you can't find a job the government will become the employer of last resort it's what he did with that. you have the right to health care and you know these basic things that if we were to simply say in t

franklin roosevelt was moved by later movements. lyndon johnson had the civil rights movement. i think we begin with that. this book comes out at a moment when the country sees the power and possibility of occupy, 99%, and how that has shifted. it is still evolving. it has shifted the center of political gravity of our dialogue. the issue has been off the radar for so long. >> roosevelt surfed and harnessed those movements. he used them to get legislation passed to initiate programs. obama is still getting on his wet suit. to read the essay she wrote in 2008, there was a sense of exhibits -- exuberance. you say that hope is not optimism that expects things to turn out well. it seems like he confused those two things. >> i will come back to what i write about in the book. the expectations were so great and high. go back to 2008. the back to the election and year when we are fortunate region were fortunate enough to be living with debates that were not cruel reality shows. every week, there were debates among the democratic candidates. barack obama embodied change. it seemed he b
