Publisher's Note
When Franklin D. Roosevelt and his Democratic party won a landslide victory in the 1936 elections, the way seemed open for the New Deal to complete the restructuring of American government it had begun in 1933. But, as Alan Brinkley makes clear, no sooner were the votes counted than the New Deal began to encounter a series of crippling political and economic problems that stalled its agenda and forced an agonizing reappraisal of the liberal ideas that had shaped it - a reappraisal still in progress when the United States entered World War II. The wartime experience helped complete the transformation of New Deal liberalism. It muted Washington's hostility to the corporate world and diminished liberal faith in the capacity of government to reform capitalism. But it also helped legitimize Keynesian fiscal policies, reinforce commitments to social welfare, and create broad support for "full employment" as the centerpiece of postwar liberal hopes. By the end of the war, New Deal liberalism had transformed itself and assumed its modern form - a form that is faring much less well today than almost anyone would have imagined a generation ago. The End of Reform is a study of ideas and of the people who shaped them: Franklin Roosevelt, Henry Wallace, Harold Ickes, Henry Morgenthau, Jesse Jones, Tommy Corcoran, Leon Henderson, Marriner Eccles, Thurman Arnold, Alvin Hansen. It chronicles a critical moment in the history of modern American politics, and it speculates that the New Deal's retreat from issues of wealth, class, and economic power has contributed to present-day liberalism's travails.

Industry reviews
"'The End of Reform' is a perceptive and judicious study of the way the New Deal locomotive took on such a freight of caution and opposition that the liberals themselves abandoned their early objectives, even as they retained the New Deal label and rhetoric."
New York Times - Richard Bernstein 

"Alan Brinkley brings his magnificent skills as a writer, historian, and original thinker to bear on a fascinating story....No one has a finer grasp of the intellectual, social, and political currents of this transforming era....A triumph."
Publisher's Catalog - Doris Kearns Goodwin 

"An eloquent book that will transform our understanding of what the New Deal did and did not accomplish--and how its fate continues to shape our politics....A landmark history."
Publisher's Catalog - ] Michael Kazin 

"Illuminating....Alan Brinkley couldn't have written a more timely work of history."
Wall Street Journal - Fred Siegel 

"A perceptive and judicious study...by one of our foremost historians of the mid-century."
Kazin 

"Masterly..."The End of Reform" is rich, dense, intellectual history."
Muncie 

"[Brinkley's] analysis of the changing agenda of liberalism is both persuasive and important, a product of his thorough and scrupulous research, enhanced by crisp and economical prose."
Siegel
