Critics say such efforts could backfire if Landon appears more conservative or pragmatic than Roosevelt.
The extract debates cooperation over greed, urging unselfish amity as a remedy for suffering. It contrasts ancient Rome’s bread and circuses with a modern bread and congress, critiques self interest in politics, and notes shifts in lawmaking from bicameral action to executive orders.
