Description

The New Deal shaped our nation's politics for decades and was seen by many as tantamount to the "American Way" itself. Now, in this superb compact history, Eric Rauchway offers an informed account of the New Deal and the Great Depression, illuminating its successes and failures. Rauchway first describes how the roots of the Great Depression lay in America's post-war economic policies, which in effect isolated our nation from the world economy just when the world needed the United States most. He shows how the magnitude of the resulting economic upheaval and the ineffectiveness of the old ways of dealing with financial hardships set the stage for Roosevelt's vigorous Depression-fighting policies. Indeed, Rauchway stresses that the New Deal only makes sense as a response to this global economic disaster. The book examines a key sampling of New Deal programs, revealing why some worked and others did not. In the end, Rauchway concludes that it was the coming of World War II that finally generated the political will to spend the massive amounts of public money needed to put Americans back to work. Today we can look back at the New Deal and see its full complexity. Rauchway captures this complexity in a remarkably short space, making this book an ideal introduction to one of the great policy revolutions in history.
