The New Deal

This textbook offers a chronological introduction to the New Deal that incorporates material on events and developments outside in addition to within Washington DC as well as popular reaction to the new policies. Reference is made to President Roosevelt and his role but the main emphasis is upon policy formation and implementation and the context in which the New Deal evolved. To provide a broader international context, Venn draws comparisons between American and European responses to the depression and provides explanations of American institutions and traditions.
