Více o knize

The book delves into the New Deal's origins and legacy, examining whether it was a genuine reflection of American ideals or a temporary shift. Alan Lawson argues that the New Deal emerged from the Great Depression and Franklin D. Roosevelt's visionary leadership, presenting it not as a spontaneous reaction but as the culmination of Roosevelt's long-held progressive beliefs. This study challenges traditional narratives, offering a fresh perspective on the transformative economic and policy reforms of the era.
