| Summary: | Capitalism Contested is premised on the notion that we are today at an important historiographical juncture in the political history of the twentieth century, with questions of economic power, class relations and political economy occupying a prominent position. Our current predicament, the high incidence of social inequality and poverty, the inescapable class dimension of many aspects of the lives of Americans from housing to education, working conditions and health care, is deeply anchored in the history of the New Deal order. The moment is ripe, we believe, to revisit it, as both a concept and a historical phenomenon. |
