How codes of fair competition were made and managed under the NRA
The book surveys the administrative provisions that created code authorities, defined their powers, and set how they were chosen. It examines how executive orders and NRA orders guided the administration of Title I and the administration’s broader impact on industry.
Readers will gain a clear view of the structure and function of code authorities, the methods used to select them, and the balance between efficiency and democratic representation in code administration. It also explains the role of trade associations, the influence of larger firms, and how minority participation was handled in multi-association codes.

- Ways code authorities were selected, including trade association control and elections
- How power was distributed, exercised, and supervised within codes
- How the NRA and its divisions shaped administrative provisions and outcomes
