The first comprehensive study of the New Deal in a global context, the book compares American responses to the international crisis of capitalism and democracy during the 1930s to responses by other countries around the globe--not just in Europe but also in Latin America, Asia, and other parts of the world. Work creation, agricultural intervention, state planning, immigration policy, the role of mass media, forms of political leadership, and new ways of ruling America's colonies--all had parallels elsewhere and unfolded against a backdrop of intense global debates. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy avoiding the distortions of American exceptionalism, Kiran Klaus Patel shows how America's reaction to the Great Depression connected it to the wider world. Among much else, the book explains why the New Deal had enormous repercussions on China; why Franklin D. Roosevelt studied the welfare schemes of Nazi Germany; and why the New Dealers were fascinated by cooperatives in Sweden--but ignored similar schemes in Japan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUltimately, Patel argues, the New Deal provided the institutional scaffolding for the construction of American global hegemony in the postwar era, making this history essential for understanding both the New Deal and America's rise to global leadership.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The first book to globalize the history of the New Deal, this is an amazing tour de force with fresh insights on virtually every page.

This formidable book decisively challenges exceptionalist claims about mid-twentieth-century reform in the United States.\"\u003cb\u003e--Paul A.

But as Kiran Klaus Patel's penetrating book shows, it was also a deeply international event, both in terms of Americans transmitting their ideas abroad as well as importing innovations from often-unexpected places around the world. Insightful and original, \u003ci\u003eThe New Deal: A Global History\u003c\/i\u003e will challenge preconceptions and change the way we perceive a seminal moment in world history.\"\u003cb\u003e--Andrew Preston, University of Cambridge\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Kiran Klaus Patel provides a strikingly broad and comprehensive treatment of the New Deal and brings a remarkable range of global knowledge to bear on the subject.
