"The New Deal and the Politics of Retribution"

"The New Deal and the Politics of Retribution" explores how Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal policies responded to the Great Depression by implementing economic reforms and social programs. It also examines the political tensions and conflicts that arose, including resistance from various groups and opposition politicians. The phrase "politics of retribution" suggests that some opponents sought to punish or undermine the New Deal initiatives due to ideological differences or fears of expanding government power. Overall, the work analyzes how these policies reshaped American politics and society, balancing recovery efforts with political struggles rooted in differing visions for the nation’s future.
