In this well-written book, Michael J. Webber makes a substantial contribution to the literature on the political economy of the New Deal. The book's topic, campaign finance in the 1936 presidential election, should generate broad interest among social scientists who seek to understand the New Deal. Because the 1936 election demonstrated such remarkable support for the New Dealers, a careful study of who gave financial support to whom in that election can provide insight into the nature of the New Deal coalition and the major policy changes that it brought.
