3. If you want to understand the transformation of liberalism...

that occurred during the FDR administration, you MUST read

"The End of Reform"

The author's name escapes me right now...the basic thesis is that true liberal reform died with FDR, with the advent of consumerism. True liberal, structural reform of capitalism shifted to liberal social reform. Basically, we gave up on challenging capitalism and focused instead on social reform.

An excellent book.
