Octavo, green cloth covers, ix [1] 306 pages. Kent was initially a supporter of FDR's polices, but by 1934 Kent, a lifelong Democrat, turned against the New Deal. "He criticized FDR and liberals who tried to disrupt his cherished Jeffersonian principles - the balanced budget, limited spending by the federal government, and a limited government. As his criticism became more severe, he charged that the Democrats no longer stood for states' rights. Kent pronounced the New Deal's AAA farm program a failure and was astonished that the Roosevelt administration did not propose to abandon it, but intended, instead, "to proceed from one experiment that has failed to a more drastic experiment along the same line" in the direction of greater control over agricultural production. As for the centerpiece of New Deal efforts to promote economic recovery, NRA, Kent found no enthusiasm for it any longer." --from Wikipedia. 021210A Americana, Franklin D. Roosevelt.
