Why and how does economic prosperity vary so much from one segment of society to the next? How do technological and social changes impact American traditions? To what extent should the federal government attempt to effect economic and social change? What should the role of the federal government be in the economic and social lives of its citizens? What long term effects did the New Deal have on the United States? How were programs in these decades a challenge to traditional practices, in religion, race, and gender?
