Good Press, 2020

In his Third State of the Union Address, delivered on December 7, 1926, Calvin Coolidge articulates his vision for a robust and self-reliant America, reflecting the political and economic realities of the Roaring Twenties. Coolidge's prose is characterized by clarity and precision, embodying the ideals of pragmatism and restraint that defined his presidency. His address underscores themes of national unity, economic prosperity, and the responsibilities of government in fostering a climate conducive to individual initiative, all while navigating the complexities left by the post-World War I era. The address is not merely a policy statement but also a literary artifact that contextualizes America's socio-political landscape during this transformative epoch. Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President of the United States, served from 1923 to 1929, emerging as a prominent figure during a time of unprecedented economic growth and cultural change. His deep-rooted belief in limited government and personal responsibility is reflected in his speeches and writings. Raised in New England, Coolidge's experience as a lawyer and public servant shaped his conservative views, emphasizing the importance of hard work and integrity in public life. This address is essential reading for scholars and citizens alike, offering insights into the philosophical underpinnings of American governance during the 1920s. As a reflective examination of Coolidge's policies and ideals, it invites readers to consider the balance between governmental action and individual agency, making it a vital resource for understanding contemporary discussions on the role of government in society.
