Book Description
===================
The greatest peaceable expression of common purpose in US history, the
New Deal altered Americans’ relationship with politics, economics, and
one another in ways that continue to resonate today. No matter where
you look in America, there is likely a building or bridge built
through New Deal initiatives. If you have taken out a small business
loan from the federal government or drawn unemployment, you can thank
the New Deal.
While certainly flawed in many aspects-the New Deal was implemented by
a Democratic Party still beholden to the segregationist South for its
majorities in Congress and the Electoral College-the New Deal was
instated at a time of mass unemployment and the rise of fascistic
government models and functioned as a bulwark of American democracy in
hard times. This book looks at how this legacy, both for good and ill,
informs the current debates around governmental responses to crises.
