Abstract

power is not a particularly original historiographical intervention, even if Shaw tells the story in a highly original way. But even if this book is unlikely to change historians' minds about what the New Deal did, it demonstrates the diversity and intensity of popular movements whose critiques of financial capitalism made the New Deal possible in the first place.
