![]() ![]() But that number hides something: A third of the people Shlaes counts as unemployed had a job that the New Deal gave them through its relief programs. Based on such a statistic, you could think the New Deal wasn’t alleviating the Great Depression. That’s appalling-almost as bad as 23 percent in 1932. Let’s look at a figure Shlaes gives twice in her book and again in her Wall Street Journal editorial: She has unemployment at 20 percent in the 1937-38 recession. ![]() In Roosevelt’s rhetoric, the phrase stood for Americans who had not reaped enough economic benefits relative to the capitalists and captains of industry and. The forgotten man became a kind of shorthand during FDR’s election campaign and subsequent presidency. If you want to know how the New Deal treated ordinary Americans, this choice really matters. And that is the subject of the Amity Shlaes book, The Forgotten Man. Instead she chooses different estimates of unemployment that (she acknowledges) show a much larger share of Americans out of work during the New Deal. And though she quotes an unemployment number, she doesn’t quote the figures I’ve just mentioned. She starts each chapter with a rat-a-tat of just-the-facts, but instead of GDP, which represents the overall economy, she quotes the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which represents the maybe 10 percent of Americans who owned stock. ![]() Shlaes makes a different argument about numbers, because she uses different numbers. ![]() ![]() ![]() When the curtain rises, James Morell, portrayed as a friendly and a physically fit man, is going through his letters.

He leaves her and Eugene back at home and goes out, with others, to deliver his lecture. Her praise of Eugene is too much for him. He is shocked that his own wife feels that his speeches are useless. ![]() Candida’s repetition of words of Marchbanks pierces the heart of Morell. His reaction to Candida’s routine domestic tasks is both revealing as well as amusing. The play moves slowly towards the climax. On her invitation, Eugene stays for dinner. Candida comes and smells that there is something wrong. Morell, in rage, seizes him by his collar. Eugene shocks and infuriates Morell by telling him that he loves his wife and that Morell is nothing more than a preacher with empty words.
