In 1933, a coalition of businessmen dissatisfied with FDR’s economic policies surreptitiously planned a coup. The failed Business Plot aimed to depose FDR and install a dictator.

    If anyone’s got the time to listen to a podcast about it, there’s one that came out recently called ‘Let’s Start a Coup.’

    Admittedly I haven’t heard it myself, but one of the hosts is Justin Boland(?) who also hosts Stuff They Don’t Want You to Know, and been a guest on Behind the Bastards, so I imagine it’ll be quite good, and I’ll be listening to it soon.

    Edit: I’ve finished listening to it, and it is indeed very good. Really funny and informative.
