Description
The Hoover-Roosevelt debate of the 1930s is the contemporary American political, economic, and moral conversation that shapes public policy in the twenty first century in a very powerful way. The very questions that concerned these two presidents are also our burning questions of today. The themes of liberty vs, security, freedom vs, regulation, representative democracy over against the administrative state and an independent judiciary, so important and visionary then, are still the fundamental questions in a world of terrorism, globalization, and uncertainty.
The aim of this collection is not to substantiate or disprove any of the prevailing theories regarding the Great Depression and the New Deal. The aim is to present the original arguments which will allow the actors and documents to speak for themselves, thus promoting a conversation between the present generation and the most prominent actors of the New Deal era.
The original readings selected and edited here will encourage us to take a fresh look at the material surrounding the New Deal controversy. The speeches and addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover, along with sample Acts of Congress, the presidential platforms of the two major political parties, as well as critical Supreme Court decisions that first declared the core legislation to be unconstitutional and then constitutionalzed the New Deal, have been collected under one roof and assembled in an accessible and yet comprehensive fashion.

Reviews
Lloyd has skillfully juxtaposed important documents in a way that highlights the stark differences between Hoover and Roosevelt. Even historians who are wholly familiar with the public materials and private letters included in this volume will appreciate viewing them in one collection arranged in such a logical manner.
The Annals of Iowa
This essentially backward-looking project takes the form of an archeological dig, the first stage of which is to bulldoze from the site sprawling acres of tendentious scholarship. We are thus indebted to political scientist Gordon Lloyd, who in this splendid edited collection, has applied his bulldozer the New Deal era.

This well-conceived and thought-provoking documentary volume casts fresh light on a clash of political philosophies that roiled American life for a generation and continues to affect it to this day.

It is a fine collection and I learned much by reading Hoover and Roosevelt together.

I think the core strength of the book lies in its unique approach, especially for a historical work. It is an amazing achievement and one that sparks discussion on the central differences between the two men.

I have seen no other textbook or readings that cover the political-economic debate of the time with such clarity and depth. Advanced high school students in American History will be able to use this text to understand classical liberalism, socialism, and mixed economics in the 20th century. Government and economic courses will also be able to benefit from Dr. Lloyd's book with its balanced presentation.

Gordon Lloyd has provided a service to all students of American history and politics by compiling an impressive documentary tour through the national conversation that culminated in the New Deal...enabling us to make an informed judgment about whether the principles and assumptions inherent in many of our current political and social institutions can still serve us well today.
