Sinopsis

"Rural Electrification Begins" explores the transformative impact of bringing electricity to rural America during the Great Depression as part of Roosevelt's New Deal. This initiative, spearheaded by the Rural Electrification Administration (REA), aimed to modernize agricultural practices and stimulate economic recovery. One intriguing fact is that only about 10% of rural farms had electricity before the REA, highlighting the vast disparity between urban and rural living standards. The book examines the economic rationale, political battles, and social changes that accompanied this ambitious undertaking, demonstrating how government policy directly influenced economic development and improved life for rural communities.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with the dire conditions in rural areas, then moving to the political hurdles of establishing the REA, and finally assessing the long-term consequences of electrification. It uniquely blends quantitative data with qualitative narratives, including oral histories from farmers and REA administrators. For example, the adoption of electric water pumps significantly increased farm productivity by reducing the time and labor needed for irrigation.

 
This history provides valuable lessons applicable to modern challenges, such as expanding broadband access, and reconsiders the New Deal as a proactive force for modernization and equitable development, not solely a welfare program.

    A masterly introduction to the United States Constitution, this concise book leads the reader through an overview of the document’s individual articles and amendments. With clear and accessible language, Currie then examines each of the three branches of the federal government and explains the relation between the federal and state governments. He analyzes those constitutional provisions that are designed to protect citizens from governmental interference, such as the due process and equal protection clauses and the confusing first amendment provisions respecting the separation of church and state and includes discussions of judicial review and freedom of speech and of the press.
     
    A sympathetic yet critical guide, Currie’s book enables students and laypersons to understand one of the cornerstones of the Western political tradition. The second edition incorporates the Supreme Court decisions that have affected constitutional interpretation.
     
    “Superb . . . highly recommended for those seeking a reliable, understandable, and useful introduction to our constitution.”—Appellate Practice Journal and Update
