Little has been written about the New Deal's effect at the state
level. How did the states act before the New Deal? Did the
Roosevelt administration promote progressive policies on the state
level? Did it destroy state initiative? Was it discriminatory? In
what kinds of states did it seem to have the greatest impact, and
why? What barriers were placed in the way of New Deal planning?
Professor Patterson traces trends in state affairs and in American
federalism between 1920 and 1940, focusing on the states in
relation to the federal government. Though he pays attention to
individual state variations, he searches for generalizations which
explain the pattern instead of presenting a routine state-by-state
survey. Originally published in 1969. The Princeton Legacy Library
uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
