Summary
The last two chapters indicated how administrative competence was an enduring theme in the evolution of the American polity throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth century. The legal and institutional changes during the Progressive and New Deal era are therefore part of the “deep story” of the American polity – a story in which administrative competence was fully entangled.
