Description
While ostensibly a study of the development of the prorationing system in Texas in the 1930s, this book develops the concept of Populist Corruption to describe the utilization of populist symbols and ideology to support the pursuit of private self-interest, especially in the development of American economic policy. It examines the conflict between the greatest industry of 20th-century American capitalism and how populist symbolism was used to subvert populist goals.
