Has the New Deal Promoted or Retarded Business Recovery?
par
America's Town Meeting of the Air brings the format of a public debate to radio, inviting listeners to hear opposing views on questions of the day. This broadcast is titled “Has the New Deal Promoted or Retarded Business Recovery?” and centers on the effects of the New Deal on business recovery.
The program presents its subject as a question for discussion rather than a single narrator’s account. Its town-meeting approach gives the broadcast a civic, argumentative character, with the issue framed for consideration from competing perspectives.
Listeners interested in the political and economic debates of the period will find a direct encounter with a question that shaped public discussion: whether government policy was helping business recover or holding that recovery back.
