Remember that the politics of welfare states around the world generally revolve around the fundamental conflict in capitalist systems between the interests of “Capital” (i.e. “business”) and “Labor” (i.e. “the workers”). With that in mind, consider the following political questions:
With the election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the passage of his landmark “New Deal” legislation, how did the Democratic and Republican Parties align themselves?
Now, with the parties more fully identified with each side of the “class” struggle, what was the one big problematic contradiction at the heart of the Democratic Party in this era? (think about the historical roots of each party and think about a particular region of the country)?
How did this contradiction at the heart of the Democratic Party impact New Deal legislation? (i.e. how did it limit what Roosevelt was able to accomplish?)
