The rise and fall of the New Deal Era Part One

During the 1930s Franklin Roosevelt stabilised American capitalism using state power, regulation, the empowerment of organised labour and the regulation of finance in the New Deal. This compact lasted for the middle decades of the 20th Century and was finally destroyed by Ronald Reagan and his successors. This podcast explores the beginnings of the New Deal era and the power that this leant to the Democratic Party from the 1930s to the 1960s.
