Coolidge is a comprehensive biography and reassessment of President Calvin Coolidge (president from 1923 to 1929) whose style of management discipline can be applied to today’s fiscal crisis.

In Coolidge, Amity delivers a brilliant and provocative reexamination of America’s thirtieth president and the enormous economic growth he helped to produce.

Amity shows that the restraint that sometimes earned Coolidge ridicule was in fact his greatest strength: he reduced the federal budget during this time in office even as the economy grew, wages rose, taxes fell, and unemployment dropped. Amity will reveal the lessons that financial institutions, municipal governments, politicians, corporations, insurance companies, philanthropic organizations, and educators can take away from Coolidge’s vastly under-rated presidency.
