Evaluating the New Deal
Article Abstract:
The New Deal's several legacies should be evaluated separately. Its chief legacy is a special-benefits state on which people have become too dependent. On the positive side, the New Deal confirmed the federal government as the prime agent of macro-economic policy and guarantor of social insurance against the downturns inevitable in a market economy. Less positively, the New Deal demonstrated the failure of central planning and of intensified regulation of particular industries.
