Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): Too Liberal . The authors cover many of the events that occurred during the timeframe so I believe you can get some decent background info from the book.  However, it is very political and seems to blame the country for not adopting a  social welfare state much sooner.  In many areas, it is too superficial and  quickly concludes &quot;where was a government program to cure these ills  of history&quot; and doesn't really explore the causes of problems.  Case  in point, American farmers fed the world during WW-1 as European  agriculture was in shambles.  That allowed American farmers to enjoy strong  prices and high incomes in the war years.  But in the 1920s, the European  farmers were back and the market suffered from classic oversupply and farm  incomes declined.  The authors don't report that or even classify the war  years as an anomoly for farmers.  Instead, they focus on the unfairness  that the farmers didn't participate to the same degree in the prosperity of  the 1920s.  The tone gets very upset with thoughts that the federal  government should have prevented this like our wonderful never-ending farm  programs of today that have us subsidizing the growth of tobacco and mohair  wool. In other areas, the book is wrong.  For example, it traces the  formation of the Federal Reserve System to JP Morgan's inability to stem  the bank failures and outflow of gold in the Panic of 1907.  Actually,  Morgan was very successful in rescuing the powerless federal government and  raising gold in Europe to prop up our banks.  The Federal Reserve System  arose as the government was worried about having one private man being able  to wield so much financial power. All in all, the historical background is  there and is a good primer, but be prepared to listen to a lecture of what  is fair and right and what is not
