| Abstract: |
This is an analysis of the South\'s remarkable odyssey from the economic catastrophe of the 1930s to the Sunbelt of the 1970s, and of the excruciating limits of that emerging prosperity. It is also a study of federal action--of its successes and its failures. By linking the history of the southern people with the history of national public policy, this study seeks to unite two issues which dominate the domestic political economy of postwar America--the emergence of the Sunbelt and the expansion of federal power over the nation\'s economic life. |
