Summary note

"Beyond the New Deal Order offers a historicized analysis of the degree to which the original understanding of that order still holds. The unifying thematic among the essays lies not in their subject matter - politics, political economy, social thought, and legal scholarship are all well represented - but in a quest to bring fresh twenty-first-century perspective to the historic meaning and significance of an extended New Deal moment. Along the way, the contributors to this volume also ascertain the degree to which that old order itself has been displaced or even overthrown by a different, more market-centered reform logic that became the basis of shifting electoral and policy coalitions in the 1970s and beyond. Various contributors identify elements of a distinctively new order arising from the political economic, ideological, institutional, and electoral currents of post 1970s politics"-- Provided by publisher.
