This review is from: Conservative Constraints: North Carolina and the New Deal (Twentieth-Century America Series) (Hardcover)

Conservative constraints explains how conservative Democrats in NC deliberately sabotaged Roosevelt's New Deal in order to benefit big business and big agriculture. It's happening again on the national level with "Blue Dog" Democrats joining Republicans in fighting policies that would benefit middle- and low-income workers.
