Flashback: The New Deal Influenced By Fascism

Professor Antony C. Sutton has this quote Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor under FDR:

At the first meeting of the Cabinet after the President took office in 1933, the financier and adviser to Roosevelt, Bernard Baruch, and Baruch's friend General Hugh Johnson, who was to become the head of the National Recovery Administration, came in with a copy of a book by Gentile, the Italian Fascist theoretician, for each member of the Cabinet, and we all read it with great care.
