The New Deal and public policy

by Byron W. Daynes, William D. Pederson, Michael P. Riccards

Cover of The New Deal and public policy

These essays examine and evaluate New Deal domestic policy in six areas: agriculture, the environment, housing, welfare, the economy, and industry. The essays combine to reveal that in contrast to totalitarian governments, the New Deal demonstrated that the American experiment in government could successfully address a national emergency using democratic means.
