John Calvin Coolidge, Jr. bol tridsiatym prezidentom Spojených štátov. Tento republikánsky právnik z Vermontu sa postupne stal guvernérom Massachusetts. Jeho činy počas bostonského policajného štrajku v roku 1919 ho vyniesli do národného povedomia. Krátko nato bol zvolený za viceprezidenta a po smrti Warrena G. Hardinga sa ujal prezidentského úradu. Získal si povesť konzervatívca presadzujúceho malú vládu. Mnohí neskôr kritizovali Coolidgea ako súčasť všeobecnej kritiky vlády laissez-faire. Jeho povesť zaznamenala renesanciu počas Reaganovej administratívy, ale konečné hodnotenie jeho prezidentského obdobia je stále rozdelené medzi tých, ktorí schvaľujú jeho zmenšovanie veľkosti vlády, a tých, ktorí veria, že federálna vláda by mala byť viac zapojená do regulácie ekonomiky.

?Of course it would be folly to argue that the people cannot make political mistakes. They can and do make grave mistakes. They know it, they pay the penalty, but compared with the mistakes which have been made by every kind of autocracy they are unimportant. Oftentimes the inconvenience and loss fall on the innocent. This is all a part of the price of freedom. Unless the people struggle to help themselves, no one else will or can help them. It is out of such struggle that there comes the strongest evidence of their true independence and nobility, and there is struck off a rough and incomplete economic justice, and there develops a strong and rugged national character. It represents a spirit for which there could be no substitute. It justifies the claim that they are worthy to be free.? Calvin Coolidge
