"Class and Power in the New Deal" provides a new perspective on the
origins and implementation of the three most important policies
that emerged during the New Deal--the Agricultural Adjustment Act,
the National Labor Relations Act, and the Social Security Act. It
reveals how Northern corporate moderates, representing some of the
largest fortunes and biggest companies of that era, proposed all
three major initiatives and explores why there were no viable
alternatives put forward by the opposition.
More generally, this book analyzes the seeming paradox of policy
support and political opposition. The authors seek to demonstrate
the superiority of class dominance theory over other
perspectives--historical institutionalism, Marxism, and
protest-disruption theory--in explaining the origins and
development of these three policy initiatives. Domhoff and Webber
draw on extensive new archival research to develop a fresh
interpretation of this seminal period of American government and
social policy development.
