Overview
Ray Nothstine joins host Marc Vander Maas for a look at the life of President Calvin Coolidge.
During the discussion, Ray talks about the ways that Coolidge's thinking aligns with Lord Acton's. After the podcast, he sent the following clarification: "I got so into the ways that he aligns with Acton in the interview but I neglected to address his divergence. Where Coolidge’s thinking parts with Acton is of course on trade. Coolidge, like many political leaders of his era, was a protectionist. He supported high tariffs on imports and advocated for government action to strengthen protectionist policies."
