Reviews
"The sociologist G. William Domhoff has long been a leading analyst and critic of corporate power and economic inequality in the United States. The Myth of Liberal Ascendancy builds on his previous work and offers his broadest historical narrative of what he sees as continual corporate dominance over American public policy since the late 1930s...[it]represents one of the most comprehensive and persuasive historical overviews available..."" --The Journal of American History "Domhoff makes a convincing case that business leaders were more influential in the development of public policy during these decades than most other accounts would have it. VERDICT Whether or not they agree with him, historians and political scientists will need to reckon with the reach of Domhoff's argument, the depth of his research, and the controlled passion underlying both." -Library Journal ""Domhoff reminds us in his latest masterpiece, The Myth of Liberal Ascendency, the class war perpetrated by corporations and their owners against the rest of America predates the Reagan Era and, in fact runs all the way back to the New Deal and earlier."" -Jewish Currents ""No one who wants to claim understanding of the nature of American economic policy can ignore this work. Domhoff has meticulously scrutinized dozens of episodes over the last half century in the endless political battle to achieve a semblance of economic fairness and social justice. As the story unfolds, we see the ways that corporate power has profoundly restricted the capacity of government to promote equality of opportunity and economic security--even when some headway was being made. Those who think they know that story will find in this work a great deal of news and much to challenge their presuppositions." --Richard Flacks, University of California, Santa Barbara ""Domhoff's exhaustive review of national policy-making from 1939 to the Great Recession inflicts major damage on studies that find periods of liberal ascendancy alternating with periods of conservative dominance. Students will find abundant evidence in his research."" --John F. Manley, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Stanford University ""This is a beautifully written inquiry into how the United States moved so far to the political right in recent decades. Professor Domhoff provides a careful analysis of one of the most dramatic and important transitions of our times: the transformation from relative equality during most of the years immediately before and after World War II, to a world in which a well-organized and politically-engaged corporate community accelerated a movement to the right, starting in the 1970's. In addition to making an important contribution to understanding historic political shifts, this book also contributes to our understanding of patterns of inequality and the concentration of social and financial resources in the hands of a small portion of the population. The book is a must-read for sociologists, economists, political scientists, historians, and anyone who cares about inequality. --Lisa A. Keister, Duke University ""In his most recent book, Domhoff debunks the view that the United States moved toward greater equality during the New Deal and that it wasn't until decades later that the power elite began its rise to power. Instead he convincingly demonstrates, contrary to the ""fairy tale"" of a liberal-labor ascendancy, that the large corporations have been well-organized and politically mobilized since the late 1930s and that the U.S. has experienced increasing corporate dominance ever since."" --Jill Quadagno, author of One Nation, Uninsured : Why the U.S. Has No National Health Insurance, Oxford University Press (2006), "The Myth of Liberal Ascendancyis a daring attempt to correct the idea that the liberal-labor coalition had the strength to dictate its own terms to the corporate-conservative coalition during the New Deal, and in the so-called Keynesian era... Domhoff's book doubtlessly provides invaluable evidence indicating the historical weakness of the liberal-labor alliance and the fallacy in the liberal-labor ascendancy thesis. In this respect, this book contributes to the analysis of the historical and social roots of the Keynesian epoch and uncovers the real factors lying beneath the post-war socioeconomic order both at domestic and global levels."--Serdal Bahçe, Marx & Philosophy Review of Books, Whether or not they agree with him, historians and political scientists will need to reckon with the reach of Domhoff's argument, the depth of his research, and the controlled passion underlying both.

Synopsis
Based on new archival research, argues that the 'New Deal' era in the US was one of corporate dominance rather than progressive reform., It is commonly accepted that America saw the rise of liberalism in the wake of the New Deal, especially during the three decades after World War II. Based on new archival research, G. William Domhoff reveals this period instead as one of increasing corporate dominance in government affairs, affecting the fate of American workers up to the present day. While FDR's New Deal brought sweeping legislation, the tide turned quickly after 1938. From that year onward nearly every major new economic law passed by Congress showed the mark of corporate dominance. The influential Committee for Economic Development was a guiding force for presidential administrations and congressional leaders. Domhoff accessibly portrays documents of the Committee's vital influence in the halls of government, supported by his interviews with several of its key employees and trustees. In terms of economic influence, liberalism was on a long steady decline, despite two decades of post-war growing equality. Ironically, it was the successes of the civil rights, feminist, environmental, and gay-lesbian movements-not a new corporate mobilization-that led to the final defeat of the liberal-labor alliance after 1968. These cultural successes generated just enough backlash to turn whites toward the Republican Party. It then became possible for the corporate community to solve its emerging economic and political problems through the offshore manufacturing and high interest rates that killed off inflation and the power of unions., Based on new archival research, G. Williams Domhoff challenges popular conceptions of the 1930's New Deal. Arguing instead that this period was one of increasing corporate dominance in government affairs, affecting the fate of American workers up to the present day.
