- catalog abstract ""Waddell addresses a central paradox in American governance: How did a strong national security state arise within a weak federal structure? He argues that on the political home front, World War II represented the victory of the warfare state over the nascent New Deal welfare state - a victory with important consequences for American democracy. The warfare state defeated the New Deal's labor and academic supporters, thereby increasing the national capacity for global involvement while undermining the implementation of New Deal programs." "The War Against the New Deal describes the role economic interests played in tipping the balance in wartime struggles over resources and power - and the results of increasing corporate influence within the federal government. It reveals how the warfare state legitimized the growth of national state power during the post-war years and how it strengthened, without democratizing, the American government."--Jacket.".
