Public Works Administration
Author: Lucy Brewer
Publisher: SAGE Publications, Incorporated
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Physical structures and facilities that deliver the federal, state, and local governments' services are essential to the economic and social development of communities, regions, and nations. As our cities age and our government "recreates" itself, can our transportation, water resources, waste management, and public utilities systems absorb the strain? Gathered from experience and applied research, Public Works Administration is a collection of modern perspectives on public works administration. Contributors examine public works such as federal reservoirs, urban forestry, solid waste disposal, and urban highways and also explore the concepts of privatization, growth management, site location, and funding.

Building New Deal Liberalism
Author: Jason Scott Smith
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521828055
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Providing the first historical study of New Deal public works programs and their role in transforming the American economy, landscape, and political system during the twentieth century. Reconstructing the story of how reformers used public authority to reshape the nation, Jason Scott Smith argues that the New Deal produced a revolution in state-sponsored economic development. The scale and scope of this dramatic federal investment in infrastructure laid crucial foundations - sometimes literally - for postwar growth, presaging the national highways and the military-industrial complex. This impressive and exhaustively researched analysis underscores the importance of the New Deal in comprehending political and economic change in modern America by placing political economy at the center of the 'new political history'. Drawing on a remarkable range of sources, Smith provides a groundbreaking reinterpretation of the relationship between the New Deal's welfare state and American liberalism.
