Conventional wisdom dates the origins of activist federal government to the New Deal. William J. Novak shows that the roots run deeper. Tracing the gradual rise in demands for public-service government from the Civil War through the Progressive Era, he finds that attitudes about the role of the state changed long before FDR was in office.
