New Deal or Raw Deal?: How FDR by Burton W. Folsom Jr. offers a critical examination of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal policies and their impact on the American economy during the Great Depression. Folsom challenges the traditional view of the New Deal as a beneficial and necessary response to the economic crisis, arguing instead that these policies increased government intervention, hindered free-market growth, and extended the Depression.

Through historical analysis, the book highlights controversial decisions, explores the influence of political motives, and raises questions about the effectiveness and consequences of federal programs. Folsom aims to provide readers with a fresh perspective on FDR's legacy and the long-term implications of his policies on American economic and political life.
