The Democratic Party Heads North, 1877 1962

Více o knize

Focusing on the evolution of the Democratic party, the book presents a fresh analysis of its attempts to build a successful electoral coalition from 1877 to 1962. It challenges the prevailing notion of significant changes within the coalition, arguing instead for a greater continuity across different eras. The author contends that major events, such as the economic depression of the 1890s and the New Deal of the 1930s, did not impact the party system as profoundly as commonly believed.
