Economic Development - New Deal - Participatory Democracy

As one of the administrators from the start and more recently as Chairman of the TVA, Lilienthal writes eloquently of that achievement of democracy and science, of the people-for the people-by the people. The harnessing of the river and the conversion of its power to electricity; the restoration of the soil and of natural resources; the rise and development of industry; the interlinking cooperation which made a corporate unit in which each man participated, and from which each profited; the question of "politics" -- of overcentralization in Washington, followed by the attempt to decentralise it on a regional basis; the cultural and educational advantages and finally TVA as a model for the future in world reconstruction. Full tribute to the ideals, the reality, and the people who made it possible. The chief value of a book such as this today is that TVA stands for a model of what government intervention and economic planning can -- at its best -- achieve.
