Introduction to the 1993 Edition
THIS INTRODUCTION serves two major purposes. First, it offers an entre, for readers less familiar with it, into the literature to which The Origins of the National Recovery Administration belongs. Second, it affords the author the opportunity to take stock of the relevant books and articles that have appeared since the book's original publication. No one has yet offered a full-scale alternative treatment of the story told in this book namely, that the National Industrial Recovery Act (N.I.R.A.) was chiefly the result of a secular campaign by broad segments of the business community to secure liberalization of antitrust strictures against cartelization1 but new research has enhanced and extended many of the elements that appear in the narrative given here. This is true above all of the role played by the central figure of the period in which this story of NRA's gestation is played out, the period between World War I and the onset of the New Deal: Herbert Hoover.
