Four NRA decisions shape postwar recovery path
The article notes four key NRA decisions: abandon licensing, remove codes from service industries, drop price fixing while tightening it where markets are quasi monopolistic, and interpret Section 7A to support plant level labor representation. It argues these reforms align with private investment and indicate a more intelligible New Deal recovery approach, though unresolved confusion remains. It also references Bulgaria’s 1925 Sofia cathedral bombing stamp recall amid broader reflections on economic policy and public debate.
