分析代议制政府下重大政策变革的条件，以美国新政为例，解释1930年代初经济问题如何引发联邦支出、劳动市场监管和民权政策的改变，并总结政治经济学启示。
What conditions cause major policy changes under representative government? This article addresses that question by providing a theoretically grounded analysis of a massive policy change: the New Deal. It explains how the economic problems of the early 1930s initiated changes on several dimensions of policy: federal spending, labor market regulation, and civil rights. The article concludes by considering the broader lessons learned from the political economy of the New Deal. (c) 2008 by The University of Chicago. All rights reserved.
