A reprint of the 1966 Bobbs-Merrill edition. This anthology
assembles the contemporary writings not only of the New Dealers-the
men who devised and executed the programs of the government in the
era of Franklin D. Roosevelt-but also of the "social critics" who
"gathered in various stances and at various distances around the
Roosevelt fires." Here is a sampling of the famous movers and
shakers of the 1930's: Thurman Arnold, Henry Wallace, Rexford
Tugwell, David Lilienthal, Harry Hopkins, Harold Ickes, Frances
Perkins, John Maynard Keynes, and of course Roosevelt himself. Here
too are the voices of those who thought the New Dealers were going
"too far" such as Walter Lippmann and Raymond Moley, and of those
who thought they were not going "far enough"; like John Dewey, W.
E. B. DuBois, Norman Thomas, Lewis Mumford, and Carey McWilliams.
In his Introduction Howard Zinn defines the boundaries of the New
Deal's experimentalism and attempts to explain why it sputtered
out. The result is a book that captures the spirit of the New
Deal-hopeful, pragmatic, humane-yet remains hardheaded about its
accomplishments and failures.
