Roosevelt transform an American nation in crisis. They were the junior officers of the New Deal. Thomas G. Corcoran, Benjamin V. Cohen, William O. Douglas, Abe Fortas, and James Rowe helped FDR build the modern Democratic party into a progressive coalition whose command over power and ideas during the next three decades seemed politically invincible. This is the first book about this group of Rooseveltians and their linkage to Lyndon Johnson's Great Society and the Vietnam War debacle. Michael Janeway grew up inside this world. His father, Eliot Janeway, business editor of Time and a star writer for Fortune and Life magazines, was part of this circle, strategizing and practicing politics as well as reporting on these men. Drawing on his intimate knowledge of events and previously unavailable private letters and other documents, Janeway crafts a riveting account of the exercise of power during the New Deal and its aftermath. He shows how these men were at the nexus of reform impulses at the electoral level with reform thinking in the social sciences and the law and explains how this potent fusion helped build the contemporary American state. Since that time, efforts to reinvent government by "brains trust" have largely failed in the U.S. In the last quarter of the twentieth century American politics ceased to function as a blend of broad coalition building and reform agenda setting, rooted in a consensus of belief in the efficacy of modern government. Can a progressive coalition of ideas and power come together again? The Fall of the House of Roosevelt makes such a prospect both alluring and daunting. 650 0 $a New Deal, 1933-1939. 650 0 $a Political culture $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1933-1945. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1945-1989. 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Franklin D. $q (Franklin Delano), $d 1882-1945 $x Influence. 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Franklin D. $q (Franklin Delano), $d 1882-1945 $x Friends and associates. 600 10 $a Johnson, Lyndon B. $q (Lyndon Baines), $d 1908-1973. 600 10 $a Janeway, Eliot. 600 10 $a Janeway, Elizabeth. 600 10 $a Janeway, Michael, $d 1940- $x Childhood and youth. 650 17 $a Progressivisme. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Democratic Party. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Politieke cultuur. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Politieke elites. $2 gtt 600 16 $a Roosevelt, Franklin D. $q (Franklin Delano), $d 1882-1945 $x Influence. 600 16 $a Roosevelt, Franklin D. $q (Franklin Delano), $d 1882-1945 $x Amis et relations. 600 16 $a Johnson, Lyndon B. $q (Lyndon Baines), $d 1908-1973. 600 16 $a Janeway, Eliot. 600 16 $a Janeway, Elizabeth. 600 16 $a Janeway, Michael, $d 1940- $x Enfance et jeunesse. 650 6 $a New Deal. 650 6 $a Culture politique $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Politique et gouvernement $y 1933-1945. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Politique et gouvernement $y 1945-1989. 941 $a 9 952 $l GLAX641 $d 20231201010355.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180131043008.0 952 $l UTAX115 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PWAX296 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OTAX626 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B0F29D3A2B0611DE8E590108A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
