The Great Exception: The New Deal and the Limits of American Politics

byJefferson Cowie

Where does the New Deal fit in the big picture of American history? The Great Exception rests its case on archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, making room for uncertainty while explaining what the surviving evidence can establish. The Great Exception also examines the assumptions surrounding its subject, connecting them to wider arguments in business & economics and history. The book leaves readers with a clearer understanding of the new deal and the limits of american politics and of the unresolved questions that continue beyond its final chapter.
