Sanders argues that politically mobilized farmers were the driving force behind most of the legislation that increased national control over private economic power. She demonstrates that farmers from the South, Midwest, and West reached out to the urban laborers who shared their class position and their principal antagonist-northeastern monopolistic industrial and financial capital-despite weak electoral support from organized labor. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Based on new evidence from legislative records and other sources, Sanders shows that this tenuous alliance of \"producers versus plutocrats\" shaped early regulatory legislation, remained powerful through the populist and progressive eras, and developed a characteristic method of democratic state expansion with continued relevance for subsequent reform movements. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eRoots of Reform\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone interested in this crucial period of American political development.\u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 542\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.11 x 8.96 x 5.96 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45288136343654,"sku":"9780226734774","price":76.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/YUtuclZIYnlMK0poWlpNNFVjTGJsdz09.webp?v=1773913839","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/roots-of-reform-farmers-workers-and-the-american-state-1877-1917-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
