The authors wrote that: " the present American program which, for want of a better term, may be called the "New Deal". It is our belief that a less superficial view would disclose the prevailing body of economic principles as generally competent to explain the economic events of recent years, whether or prosperity or of depression. We are furthermore of the opinion that only in the light of such fundamental economic principles may there be any true analysis and judgment of the "New Deal". What is needed is not a new body of principles, but the application of established principles to recent experience and propaganda. It is to serve this purpose, that the present book is offered. It essays to present a description and explanation of the principal features of the "New Deal" program. Without undertaking itself to criticize or pass judgment, it seeks to present material which will facilitate criticism and judgment by application of established economic principles and the lessons of past experience.".
