This hardcover book "Coolidge" by Amity Shlaes dispels the thought that this President hailing from Vermont was passive in a frivolous generation. Coolidge was a modern President, advancing automobile trade, aviation, and electricity. He was not passive but took on divisive issues such as reining in unions, curtailing spending and refusing funding to special interest groups. He understood that doing less resulted in more.
