Abstract
In assessing the significance of the Great Depression, this chapter challenges overly generalized narratives about the efficacy of the New Deal and its legacies. It considers the long-lasting consequences of the Great Depression, and in particular, New Deal policies and programs. It provides an overview of the resistance and challenges to Depression-era reforms by conservatives in the closing decades of the twentieth century and opening decades of the twenty-first century, pointing out lessons learned, and perhaps forgotten, about the Great Depression.
