Book Description:

The first book-length study of the landmark 1934 Supreme Court decision that validated efforts by states to offer legislative relief to Depression-era citizens struggling to keep their farms and homes. The close 5-4 decision remains a touchstone for debates over the constitutionality (and benefits) of state intervention to the economy.
