Class and Power in the New Deal - Corporate Moderates, Southern Democrats, Liberal Labor Coalition

Zusatztext "Drawing on newly available archival evidence, Domhoff and Webber investigate the origins and trajectories of three main policy pillars of the New Deal—the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the National Labor Relations Act, and the Social Security Act. Their account challenges existing approaches and proves that their class-domination theory is a bruising contender in explanations of American policy." Informationen zum Autor G. William Domhoff is a Research Professor in Sociology at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Michael J. Webber is Professor of Sociology at the University of San Francisco.
