New Deal foe Jackson lashes at big business strike
Assistant Attorney General Robert H. Jackson accused big business of waging a strike against the government to liquidate the New Deal. He told the American Political Science Association that the recession is used as a cudgel to extract concessions and that government is the only force capable of shaping capitalism to survive. He cited 1932 and 1936 profit tables for Chrysler, GM, U S Steel, Du Pont and others to argue the “wrath of the people” grows as business opposition intensifies.
