Providing an often-overlooked historical perspective, Gordon Lloyd
and David Davenport show how the New Deal of the 1930s established
the framework for today's U.S. domestic policy and the ongoing
debate between progressives and conservatives. They examine the
pivotal issues of the dispute, laying out the
progressive-conservative arguments between Hoover and Roosevelt in
the 1930s and illustrating how those issues remain current in
public policy today. The authors detail how Hoover, alarmed by the
excesses of the New Deal, pointed to the ideas that would
constitute modern U.S. conservatism and how three pillars--liberty,
limited government, and constitutionalism--formed his case against
the New Deal and, in turn, became the underlying philosophy of
conservatism today. Illustrating how the debates between Franklin
Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover were conducted much like the campaign
rhetoric of liberals and conservatives in 2012, Lloyd and Davenport
assert that conservatives must, to be a viable part of the national
conversation, "go back to come back"--because our history contains
signposts for the way forward.
