Based on new archival research, G. Williams Domhoff challenges
popular conceptions of the 1930's New Deal. Arguing instead that
this period was one of increasing corporate dominance in government
affairs, affecting the fate of American workers up to the present
day. While FDR's New Deal brought sweeping legislation, the tide
turned quickly after 1938. From that year onward nearly every major
new economic law passed by Congress showed the mark of corporate
dominance. Domhoff accessibly portrays documents of the Committee's
vital influence in the halls of government, supported by his
interviews with several of its key employees and trustees. Domhoff
concludes that in terms of economic influence, liberalism was on a
long steady decline, despite two decades of post-war growing
equality, and that ironically, it was the successes of the civil
rights, feminist, environmental, and gay-lesbian movements-not a
new corporate mobilisation-that led to the final defeat of the
liberal-labour alliance after 1968.
