“…The producing classes-artisans, farmers, small business people-were the wealth producers, and the vitality of the republic required a "republican distribution of wealth," which meant preventing the formation of a permanent class of wage laborers and vast concentration of wealth, two preconditions for industrial capitalism. 24 Market liberalism differs from the "new liberalism" in two respects. Modern liberalism is based on state and organizational regulation of the market; and secondly, the primary economic actors are groups (associations of capital and labor) rather than the individual property holders.…”

The study of the mass circulation "popular magazine" during the Gilded Age and Progressive Era was revived during the 1990s as part of the emerging fields of gender studies, consumer studies, and the study of the new middle class. Richard Ohmann's seminal work viewed these magazines through the lens of the political economy and class relations of an emerging corporate capitalist society and explored the relationship between mass culture and the political economy of capitalism. This paper reexamines the connection between a national mass culture, the new middle class, and an emerging corporate capitalist society through the lens of post-structuralist discourse theory. Corporate capitalism is conceptualized as in part a discourse, the new liberalism, which incorporated or rearticulated populist and socialist discourses and in doing so temporarily won the consent of the capitalist class, middle classes, and segments of the working class. Through the pages of popular magazines readers were offered pieces of a new discourse that embraced corporations rather than the "free market," women's entry into public life, and new constructions of the self. During the muckraking era, elements of socialism and populism were integrated into mainstream American culture. Overall, the essay argues that a discourse perspective on popular magazines can open up new perspectives on corporate capitalism and the new liberalism. While corporate capitalism marked the decline of the producer-republican tradition, it also marked the emergence of an American social democratic tradition, a mixture of capitalist and socialist social formations.

“…The business sector symbolized by Wall Street (rather than, as earlier, an actually or potentially oppressive state) came to be seen as the chief political menace or enemy. (On this 1890s juncture, see also Huston 1993Huston :1102 Later, for the Democrats, a "Universalist Epoch" began in 1952 that lasted into the 1990s, featuring emphasis on civil rights, social welfare, redistribution, and inclusion. That is, around the middle of the twentieth century, after Harry Truman's "give 'em hell" campaign in 1948, the Democratic party discarded its abrasive, class-tinged ethos in favor of a Universalist [italics in original] perspective-the extension of rights to all aggrieved claimants and a general rhetoric of inclusion.…”

American electoral realignment theory, as constructed in its classic form chiefly by Key, Schattschneider, Sundquist, and Burnham, can be sorted into 11 distinct empirical claims. These pertain to dichotomization of election types, periodicity, a cyclical dynamic, high voter turnout, durable new issue cleavages, ideologized elections, nationalization of issues, major changes in government policy, redistributive policy, effective and consequential voter voice, and the "system of 1896." These claims are assessed for their empirical validity and illuminative power.
