Anthony Badger's notably successful history is not simply another narrative of the New Deal, nor does the figure of Franklin Roosevelt loom as large in his account as in some others. What Mr. Badger does so well is to consider important aspects of New Deal activity agriculture, welfare, and politics, interpreting the history of each.

Review :
a great synthesis
This volume is a great, concise analysis of the New Deal's political economy. Badger opens with a short account of the economic causes of the Great Depression, detailing problems with maintaining consumer demand sufficently to match the overwhelming productive capacities of the American economy. As this gap expanded and factories were forced to go idle, American businessmen followed a range of investment opportunities and incentives overseas (with the hope of helping European economies so they could pay off their World War I debts to Uncle Sam) at the expense of reinvesting in American businesses. Deflationary national and international monetary policies, combined with a worsening international economic situation (which hurt further the production potential of American business) sealed the fate of the American economy in the early 1930s.

Badger looks at the New Deal's response to this dark situation in several areas: industrial policy, labor relations, agrucultural...
Another dry as dust revisionist analysis
This is a book I tried to read several times. I finally got through it a few years ago. I had thought it would be an easy overview of the period, but it turned out to be a dry revisionist analysis of the subject, with much references to other works. The book is clearly in the middle of an academic argument among historians, with Badger refuting conclusions by other authors. I could not get excited about this book, which had been assigned reading for an undergraduate seminar on U.S. history 1920s--1930s. The book is dry, dull, and not designed for the popular reader. Clearly an academic work only for those deeply fascinated with the New Deal and its origin, structure, and political processes of the time. I thought it was interesting to see how a British historian would interpret the period, but after awhile it did not matter as he got bogged down in the politics and bureaucracies of the time. To me the book was a slow trudge, slogging through the alphabet agencies and how they were...
Outstanding Book on the Great Depression and the New Deal
Anthony Badger is a most distinguished professor of history at Cambridge in England. Few people better understand the Great Depression in America and the New Deal than Badger. This is a work of the highest caliber.

The book should actually be titled "The Great Depression and the New Deal," because it first brilliantly describes the Great Depression and the causes. He presents differing interpretations, which I really appreciated. Not everyone agrees. Not all aspects of America experienced the Depression the same, so Badger presents several observations. The portrait he paints is simply outstanding.

His analysis of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal is excellent. Badger has read everything written about the Great Depression, it seems. There are no better studies than this book, in my opinion. This is an important and authoritative review of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, and is even suitable as a college text.

My only quibble is that Badger should have...
