11. New Democracy
The Creation of the Modern American State
"New Democracy: The Creation of the Modern American State" is a captivating, enlightening journey through the evolution of government and citizenry in the United States. Award-winning author, William J. Novak, takes readers on an engaging expedition through the complex transformation of the American state, from the Civil War era to the New Deal period.
The book challenges the mainstream perception of America as a limited, weak state until the advent of the New Deal. Instead, Novak reveals a tale of progressively expanding authority, where governmental activism significantly influenced the social and economic landscape. From the dissolution of age-old traditions and principles of local self-government and associative citizenship, to the emergence of a welfare state that revolutionized citizens' understanding of their rights and the state's responsibilities, the narrative is a testament to the enduring adaptability of a nation.
Throughout the pages, Novak demonstrates how individuals and groups demanded more from their government, and how politicians and civil servants responded with policies and services that addressed pressing issues like economic regulation, social welfare, and labor rights. The book further uncovers how the United States, long before the New Deal, was already flexing its power domestically and intervening to realize redistributive goals, a revelation that undermines the libertarian argument that these changes were exceptional for American history.
"New Democracy" offers an incredibly informative, engaging, and deeply enriching read on the subject. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the intricate relationship between the American state and society, and the profound impact of these relationships on the nation's development.
