  The New Deal began as a revolution in favour of progressive governance. But, by the late 1930s, intellectuals and elites began to shrink from using state power to guide the economy. This book argues that it was the encounter with totalitarianism that dissolved the ideals of American progressivism and crystallized the ideals of post-war liberalism.
