With timeless prose and timely arguments, \u003ci\u003eWhy the New Deal Matters\u003c\/i\u003e powerfully connects that era to our own.\"--Kevin M. Kruse, Princeton University\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The greatest peaceable expression of common purpose in U.S. 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 backed by the federal government or drawn unemployment insurance, 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 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Rauchway\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300264836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300264838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 4.80w x 0.63d","brand":"Eric Rauchway","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043468210431,"sku":"9780300264838","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fdd69ac5-0bdc-4714-b6be-b051c28973d2.jpg?v=1684967330","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-the-new-deal-matters-eric-rauchway-9780300264838","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
