Marty Bennett and Richard A Walker argue the case for reviving the New Deal in the face of mass unemployment today. One version appeared in the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, October 15, 2011 and a longer version was posted on labor and progressive websites in the Bay Area.
Bennett teaches American history at Santa Rosa Junior College and is co-chair of the Living Wage Coalition of Sonoma County. Richard A Walker is a professor of geography at UC Berkeley and research director of the Living New Deal.
