“The liberal reforms of the New Deal did not transform the American system; they conserved and protected American corporate capitalism, occasionally by absorbing parts of threatening programs. There was no significant redistribution of power in American society, only limited recognition of other organized groups.…The New Deal failed to solve the problem of depression, it failed to raise the impoverished, it failed to redistribute income, it failed to extend equality and generally countenanced racial discrimination and segregation.” Barton J. Bernstein, Towards a New Past, 1968
“But it is not the variety of change which stamps the New Deal as the creator of a new America; its significance lies in the expansion and permanence of its programs. There is another measure of the New Deal’s significance in American social and political history. No Republican administration since then has repudiated the New Deal’s essentials.…The New Deal Revolution has become so much a part of the American Way that no political party that aspires to office even dreams of repudiating it. The conclusion seems inescapable that, traditional as the words may have been in which the New Deal expressed itself, in actuality it was truly a revolution in ideas, institutions and practices, when one compares it with the political and social world that preceded it.” Carl N. Degler, Out of Our Past, 1984
