Markets, Planning and the Moral Economy

Business Cycles in the Progressive Era and New Deal

唐纳德·r·Stabile, Professor of the College, St Mary’s College, Maryland, US and the late Andrew F. Kozak, formerly Associate Professor of Economics, St Mary’s College, Maryland, US

Markets, Planning and the Moral Economy examines the rise of the Progressive movement in the United States during the early decades of the 20th century, particularly the trend toward increased government intervention in the market system that culminated in the establishment of President Roosevelt’s New Deal programmes. The authors consult writings from politicians, business leaders, and economists of the time, using a variety of historical perspectives to illuminate the conflicting viewpoints that arose as the country struggled to recover from the worst economic downturn in its history.

'Informative and insightful and deserve attention from scholars in the fields of economic history, philosophy of economics, and public policy'
– Kevin Schmiesing, History and Philosophy of Economics

‘Stabile and Kozak provide an excellent analysis of debates and evolving views about the economy during the Progressive Era and the New Deal. . . Highly recommended.’
