In People Must Live by Work, Steven Attewell presents the history of an idea—direct job creation—that transformed the role of government in ameliorating unemployment by hiring the unemployed en masse to prevent widespread destitution in economic crises. For ten years, between 1933 and 1943, direct job creation was put into practice, employing more than eight million Americans and making the federal government the largest single employer in the country. Yet in 2008, when the most dramatic economic crisis since the Depression occurred, the idea of direct job creation was nowhere to be found on the list of policies deemed feasible or advisable for government at any level. People Must Live by Work traces the rise and fall of direct job creation policy—how it was put into practice, how it came within a hairbreadth of becoming a permanent feature of American economic and social administration, and why it has been largely forgotten or discounted today. Contrary to more conventional arguments, Attewell reveals that the New Deal ended the Great Depression before the United States entered World War II and its jobs programs continued to influence policy debates over the Employment Act of 1946. He examines the deliberations surrounding the Humphrey-Hawkins Full Employment Act that was signed into law in 1978 and demonstrates the ways in which direct job creation played a significant and polarizing role in dividing the economic establishment and the Democratic party in the 1970s. People Must Live by Work not only chronicles the ambition, constraints, and achievements of direct job creation policy in the past but also proposes a framework for understanding its enduring significance and promise for today.

At the lowest ebb of the Great Depression, the Federal government broke with centuries of economic orthodoxy to grapple with an economic crisis that had thrown anywhere from a quarter to a third of the American workforce onto the breadlines. For the first time in American history, the government would directly employ the jobless in an effort to bring down national unemployment rates. "Public At Work: Direct Job Creation Policy From the New Deal to the Rise of Reagan" traces the tumultuous and often unexplored history of direct job creation policy, beginning with an exploration of the intellectual and programmatic development of the Works Progress Administration within the New Deal and its impact on the Great Depression, which was far more successful in combating mass unemployment than many historians have recognized. By 1945-6, when debates over full employment consumed the Congress, direct job creation stood at the verge of becoming the foundation of American economic and social welfare policy. "Public At Work" points to intellectual and ideological choices within liberalism as the reason why at the very moment when the Full Employment Bill of 1945 promised to make the U.S a leader in the full employment field, jobs policy was rapidly de-institutionalized and pushed to the margins of policy discourse. Despite this setback, direct job creation survived as an intellectual and policy contender within the War on Poverty task forces where it challenged then-dominant "culture of poverty" theories of poverty - creating a bridge between New Deal liberalism and post-war liberalism. "Public At Work" concludes by demonstrating how direct job creation - through the vehicle of the Humphrey-Hawkins Act - was very much the fulcrum of the crisis of the New Deal order, as the collapse of the Keynesian consensus divided the economic establishment and the Democratic Party at a time of high unemployment and high inflation.

In a provocative assessment of American poverty and policy from 1950 to the present, Frank Stricker examines an era that has seen serious discussion about the causes of poverty and unemployment. Analyzing the War on Poverty, theories of the culture of poverty and the underclass, the effects of Reaganomics, and the 1996 welfare reform, Stricker demonstrates that most antipoverty approaches are futile without the presence (or creation) of good jobs. Stricker notes that since the 1970s, U.S. poverty levels have remained at or above 11%, despite training programs and periods of economic growth. The creation of jobs has continued to lag behind the need for them. Stricker argues that a serious public debate is needed about the job situation; social programs must be redesigned, a national health care program must be developed, and economic inequality must be addressed. He urges all sides to be honest--if we don't want to eliminate poverty, then we should say so. But if we do want to reduce poverty significantly, he says, we must expand decent jobs and government income programs, redirecting national resources away from the rich and toward those with low incomes. Why America Lost the War on Poverty--And How to Win It is sure to prompt much-needed debate on how to move forward.

What are the real differences between the Democrats and the Republicans on major economic issues that influence the character and vitality of the American economy? This volume answers this question in a thorough, nonpartisan, and evenhanded fashion. Both the Democratic and Republican parties proclaim that they have the best interests of the nation and its people at heart. Both are also adamant that they have the best proposals and positions on economic policies, including taxation, spending priorities, wages, business regulation, and other influences on economic growth and household finances. This volume carefully examines the two parties' respective policies, providing a detailed yet readable and understandable look at how the parties agree, disagree, and find compromise on the broad range of problems and issues facing American society in the 21st century. Each entry includes an infographic that offers bulleted "at-a-glance" summaries of the two parties' positions on each issue today, an "Issue Overview" providing basic definitions and background for understanding the debate on each issue, and a main entry that explains prevailing party sentiments, the diversity of opinion within each party, and the shifts in party position on that issue over time. Selected entries also feature informative sidebars that supply additional content, such as primary documents that showcase the viewpoints of key political figures and institutions or biographical profiles of individuals who have helped shape their party's policies on the issue in question.
