Book excerpt: Webber (chair, sociology, University of San Francisco) offers a fresh perspective on the New Deal, analyzing the role of various segments of society in party politics during the political change brought about by the Great Depression. He uses analysis of campaign contributions as a method of evaluating the 1936 presidential election. A considerable portion of this analysis rests on interpretive literature about the politics of the New Deal and specifically about the role of business in the construction of those politics.
