  • Chapter 18: Roosevelt and the New Deal, 1933-1939
    Roosevelt and the New Deal 1933–1939 Why It Matters Unlike Herbert Hoover, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was willing to employ deficit spending and greater federal regulation to revive the depressed economy. In response to his requests, Congress passed a host of new programs. Millions of people received relief to alleviate their suffering, but the New Deal did not really end the Depression. It did, however, permanently expand the federal government’s role in providing basic security for citizens. The Impact Today Certain New Deal legislation still carries great importance in American social policy. • The Social Security Act still provides retirement benefits, aid to needy groups, and unemployment and disability insurance. • The National Labor Relations Act still protects the right of workers to unionize. • Safeguards were instituted to help prevent another devastating stock market crash. • The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation still protects bank deposits.

To Claire, as a monument to our adventure in Oklahoma. Acknowledgements This project is in many ways the culmination of everything I have done before, and thus it is necessary to acknowledge everyone I have had the pleasure to have known the past three years in the University of Oklahoma English Department: faculty, staff, and my fellow graduate students. In particular, I would like to thank both Dr. McDonald and Dr. Garofalo for not only serving on my committee, but for teaching seminars so influential that they changed the way that I viewed the world and, subsequently, my future plans. In a similar vein, I would like to thank Dr. John Burke and Dr. William Ulmer at the University of Alabama, as I would have never even been here without their part in shaping my formless undergraduate curiosity into the more disciplined inquisitiveness of a scholar. Most of all, I am indebted to my Chair, Dr. James Zeigler, who has over the past three years listened carefully to every road not taken by this work, and always provided clear, helpful feedback as well as a sense of positivity that has made all the difference in its completion.

Before FDR rose to national prominence in the early 1930s, the party had represented a loose conglomeration of local and regional interests. Dominated by the “solid South” that dated to post–Civil War Reconstruction, this group also included Great Plains and Western farmers influenced by the Populist and Progressive movements, as well as the burgeoning ethnic populations of the great cities of the North and East, where the “machine politics” epitomized by New York City’s Tammany Hall ruled the day.

In particular, the New Deal has served as a major empirical context for developing, testing, or applying broader theoretical models of political change in the United States. In this sense, it is a paradigmatic exam- ple of the “historical turn” in the social sciences. This paper examines the theoretical and empirical controversies that have persisted between four competing theoretical models of New Deal political change: (a) those emphasizing the importance of social movements from below in generating momentum for political reform, (b) those high- lighting the centrality of business influence on successful New Deal reform initiatives, (c) feminist models, and (d) historical institutional models. I then turn to a survey of more recent work on some of the topics that have been the most widely debated in more recent scholarship and pose some questions for future research. INTRODUCTION Annu. Rev. Sociol. 2000.26:297-322. Downloaded from www.annualreviews.org Few historical conjunctures have excited as many sociological imaginations as the United States in the 1930s.

These measures had three goals: relief, recovery, and reform. “Relief” referred to improv- ing the immediate hardships of the depression; “recovery” was aimed at achieving a long-term economic recovery; and “reforms” were designed to prevent future depressions.
