Описание товара: New Democracy: The Creation of the Modern American State

"Between 1866 and 1932 - between the Civil War and the New Deal - the American system of governance was fundamentally transformed with momentous implications for modern American social and economic life. Nineteenth-century traditions of local self-government and associative citizenship were replaced by a modern approach to positive statecraft, social legislation, economic regulation, and public administration very much with us today. This later turn-of-the-century revolution in governance is best characterized as "The Creation of the Modern American State." This was the second great act in the political history of American democracy, broadly construed"--
The activist state of the New Deal started forming decades before the FDR administration, demonstrating the deep roots of energetic government in America.In the period between the Civil War and the New Deal, American governance was transformed, with momentous implications for social and economic life. A series of legal reforms gradually brought an end to nineteenth-century traditions of local self-government and associative citizenship, replacing them with positive statecraft: governmental activism intended to change how Americans lived and worked through legislation, regulation, and public administration. The last time American public life had been so thoroughly altered was in the late eighteenth century, at the founding and in the years immediately following.William J. Novak shows how Americans translated new conceptions of citizenship, social welfare, and economic democracy into demands for law and policy that delivered public services and vindicated people’s rights. Over the course of decades, Americans progressively discarded earlier understandings of the reach and responsibilities of government and embraced the idea that legislators and administrators in Washington could tackle economic regulation and social-welfare problems. As citizens witnessed the successes of an energetic, interventionist state, they demanded more of the same, calling on politicians and civil servants to address unfair competition and labor exploitation, form public utilities, and reform police power.Arguing against the myth that America was a weak state until the New Deal, New Democracy traces a steadily aggrandizing authority well before the Roosevelt years. The United States was flexing power domestically and intervening on behalf of redistributive goals for far longer than is commonly recognized, putting the lie to libertarian claims that the New Deal was an aberration in American history.
Conventional wisdom dates the origins of activist federal government to the New Deal. William J. Novak shows that the roots run deeper. Tracing the gradual rise in demands for public-service government from the Civil War through the Progressive Era, he finds that attitudes about the role of the state changed long before FDR was in office.
