Summary:

This illuminating new look at Franllin Roosevelt's National Recovery Administration (NRA) challenges widely accepted conclusions about that program. Tracing the intellectual origins of the NRA to pragmatism and its political origins to progressivism, Donald R. Brand argues that the NRA was an ambitious attempt to secure social justice for the organizationally disadvantaged in American society.
