Excerpt from The Right to Work
Today the professor of economics is well off. He is teaching two extra classes again, and lecturing to a group of clerks in a brokerage firm on Wall Street. Although he is still in debt, his own budget is better than balanced. He said recently, When is this country going to stop going into debt? How are we going to pay the bill? Something ought to be done about it.
The professor's case is an interesting one, not for itself alone, but for the fact that it typifies a shift in viewpoint that was shared by large numbers of the American people during the years 1930 - 1937.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the dramatic shift in public opinion towards unemployment and government relief that occurred in the United States during the Great Depression of the 1930s. The author traces the evolution of federal work relief programs, from the simplistic notion that government should not support the people to the complex understanding that joblessness and economic hardship have wide-reaching societal costs. The book demonstrates the unprecedented scale of unemployment during the Great Depression, and the many factors that contributed to the crisis. It also reveals how, beginning in 1933, the government began to experiment with various work relief programs, learning from both successes and failures as it developed an effective response to the crisis of mass unemployment. Ultimately, the book argues that the New Deal's legacy of work relief programs not only helped end the Depression but also laid the foundation for a more active role of the federal government in addressing economic hardship.
