WAS THE NEW DEAL A RESPONSE TO DEMOCRATIC PRESSURE OR AN EXERCISE IN SOCIAL CONTROL?  WELFARE TO WEAKEN THE POOR AND MUTE SOCIAL DISORDER (CLOWARD AND PIVEN);  MANY SOCIAL HISTORIANS REJECTED THEIR THESIS;

 ‘NEW DEAL CANNOT BE SIMPLY EXPLAINED BY CLASS STRUGGLE’ (SKOCPOL, 1995);  SOCIAL PROVISIONS WERE DESIGNED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF UNEMPLOYED;  PLURALISTS EMPHASISED THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCIETAL INFLUENCE ON THE POLITICAL PROCESS (SKOCPOL, FINEGOLD, GOLDFIELD, 1990);
