Abstract During the interwar period, the agricultural sector was a much larger component of the United States economy than at present. Thus, changes in agricultural fortunes had a larger impact on macroeconomic events than is the case today. The Great Depression and concomitant collapse of commodity prices adversely affected the farming sector, as did the drought that distressed many farming regions during this period. Farmers’ income plummeted, sharply curtailing investment in farm equipment. One key goal of the New Deal agricultural policies was to reverse the fortunes of the agricultural sector. Price supports and production control programs attempted to increase farmers’ incomes, enabling them to reverse the dramatic drop in equipment investment that occurred during the contraction period. This paper investigates the macroeconomic impact of investment in agricultural equipment on the aggregate economy.

Agricultural Philosophies and Policies in the New Deal Harold F. Breimyer* INTRODUCTION In the frequently innovative social-program atmosphere of the New Deal 1930s, agriculture was not a bystander or even an incidental happenstance participant. Although agricultural pro- grams ranged from crude improvisation to sophisticated social design, they were very much a part of the New Deal activity and, perhaps surprisingly, attracted some of the brightest minds in the New Deal constellation. Agriculture's participation in New Deal programs began immediately. Agriculture was a major concern of initial New Deal programs-the Roosevelt administration enacted a new farm law in its famous first one hundred days.' Unrest in the countryside, including instances of violence, partially explained Roosevelt's and Congress's prompt atten- tion to agricultural problems. Equally significant was the era's political arithmetic-agriculture comprised a larger fraction of the economy in the 1930s than it does today,2 and numerous in- fluential senators and representatives promoted agricultural concerns.

Although only my name appears on the title page, and in spite of the countless hours I spent alone while producing draft after draft, I could not have accomplished this on my own. For one, this project would not have been possible without the generous support I received from a number of institutions: The Washington Center for Equitable Growth; the Dirksen Center; the UC Group in Economic History Research; UCSB History Associates; and the UCSB Center for the Study of Work, Labor, and Democracy all provided grants and fellowships that enabled me to travel to archives and complete the research on which this project is based. And the staff at those archives – too many to name all – deserve special recognition. Historians depend upon archives, and archives depend upon archivists. They are the unsung heroes without whom there would be no hope of recovering the past.

Skully* In many quarters the point was made that once you get started on a thing of this sort there is no end to it. Henry A. Wallace on the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933 (1934a) Introduction Opportunities to rewrite the rules of the game of international relations are rare. They occur most often in the wake of a decisive war, because the victor can dictate or negotiate with maximum leverage the terms of the peace. The process of rewriting and enforcing the rules of play is analyzed by scholars of international relations in terms of regimes and hegemons. Crudely summarized, regimes are the rules of the game and the hegemon is the leading power, generally the creator of the existing rules and the prime mover in their enforcement. In this framework, the history of international relations can be viewed as the succession of hegemons and the regimes they create and attempt to maintain (Gilpin, 1981 and 1987). * Agriculture and Trade Analysis Division, Economic Research Service, U.S.

ERNST† American Legal Realism and Empirical Social Science, John Henry Schlegel’s masterful study of how a circle of American law professors, seeking a professional identity within the modern university, tried on but then discarded the garb of social scientists, performs a very difficult historical feat: it presents its subjects’ thought with great depth and subtlety but also as a means to an end in a fully rendered social setting, the American law school in the first decades of the last century. For any legal historian trying to work out how to write about ideas not just “in the books” but also “in action,” to see them as part of professionals’ quest for authority, and to draw upon sociological theory without derailing a narrative throughline, the book has been an indispensable model. It certainly has been for me as I have studied the lawyers of the New Deal.
