The Sympathetic State: Disaster Relief and the Origins of the American Welfare State
Michele Landis Dauber
Even as unemployment rates soared during the Great Depression, FDR's relief and social security programs faced attacks in Congress and the courts on the legitimacy of federal aid to the growing population of poor. This book recovers this crucial aspect of American history, tracing the roots of the modern American welfare state.
