Amity Shlaes sheds light on the life of Calvin Coolidge, the thirtieth
president of the United States. The harsh conditions of Coolidge's
childhood shaped his political ideas and led to his deep understanding
of life and helping people succeed, especially in business. Believing in
small government and low taxes, he thought government needed to get out
of the way so individuals and businesses could prosper. His supply-side
economics were a resounding success, with an unemployment rate of 5
percent or even 3 percent, as the economy grew and the government
shrank.
