Calvin Coolidge (born John Calvin Coolidge Jr.; July 4, 1872Template:SndJanuary 5, 1933) was a Statesian politician and lawyer who served as the 30th president of the United States from 1923 to 1929. A Republican, he previously served from 1921 to 1923 as the 29th vice president, under President Warren G. Harding, and from 1919 to 1921 as the 48th governor of Massachusetts.

A proponent of laissez-faire economics, Coolidge oversaw a period of economic growth but his tax cutting policies led to overproduction and rising inequality. The Great Depression struck a few months after he left office and his policies are believed to have directly contributed to the scale of the crisis. Despite this, Coolidge remains an inspiration to conservatives and neoliberals such as Ronald Reagan.
