This book remedies this by identifying the beginning of mass consumer society in the United States, starting with the New Deal. The New Deal framework of guaranteeing new home purchases by means of low-down payment, fixed-rate home mortgages lasted until the 1970s, at which time the legal framework unraveled due to a sustained attack on New Deal racism. Despite this, American consumerism continued and even flourished without a regulatory structure. This book analyzes seven key pieces of federal legislation which undergird American consumer society to this day"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Consumption (Economics) $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Consumer behavior $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Financial services industry $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Financial services industry $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Government & Business. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Commercial law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869502 650 7 $a Consumption (Economics) $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00876475 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517010733.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=81BE51768FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
