Lessons from the New Deal Public Employment Programs
The following essay is adapted from the concluding chapter of the new edition of Nancy Rose's Put to Work, just published by Monthly Review Press. The book is an examination of the various work programs implemented by the New Deal during the Great Depression. This second edition is especially appropriate, as we are now experiencing the most severe economic crisis since the 1930s, what some are calling the "Great Recession," and there is once agai…
The Family Lecture
This paper describes a lecture about my extended family, in which I discuss a variety of configurations consisting of lesbian, gay, and bisexual adults, and our children. It raises an array of issues, including alternative insemination, biological and nonbiological parentage, donors and birthmothers, adoption, co-parenting and blended families, significant others, and gay marriage and domestic partnership. It helps many students obtain both a mor…

Workfare or Fair Work
Can the welfare system in the United States accord people dignity? That question is often left out of the current debates over welfare and workfare. In this provocative book, Nancy Rose argues that the United States has been successful in the past--notably during the New Deal and in the 1970s--at shaping programs that gave people fair However, as Rose documents, those innovative job creation programs were voluntary and were mainly directed at put…

Gender, Race, and the Welfare State
From the WPA to Workfare
This paper examines two fundamentally different types of government work programs that have been implemented in the U.S. from the 1930's through the 1980's. Voluntary job creation programs, such as the Works Progress Administration in the 1930's and the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act in the 1970's, have created conflicts with the logic of capitalist production- for-profit. Contradictory regulations designed to avoid these conflicts hav…
Discrimination Against Women in New Deal Work Programs
This article presents a historical perspective on the "feminization of poverty" by examining policies that affected women in the governmental work programs during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Although the programs created problems for capital, they remained consistent with patriarchy, as well as with divisions based on race and class. That is, they limited women's participation to one-sixth of the participants; paid women less than they did…
The Political Economy of Welfare
Analyses of the U.S. welfare system in the tradition of political economy have tended to focus on the maintenance of a pool of low-wage labor. This paper adds another dimension, as it incorporates government work programs into a theory of the functions and nature of the U.S. welfare system. Three dimensions of the welfare system are posited: (a) maintaining a stigma attached to welfare so that people are encouraged to hold low-wage jobs: (b) main…
Work Relief in the 1930s and the Origins of the Social Security Act
The Social Security Act has provided the basis of the United States federal welfare system since its enactment in 1935. Although the first draft included a proposal for Employment Assurance, a government work program that would have provided public-sector employment for the jobless, it was eliminated by the time the final version was passed. The causes of this exclusion can be found in the massive work-relief programs of the Federal Emergency Rel…
