The most significant of these decisions was <em>A.L.A. Schechter Poultry v. U.S.</em>, which members of the press promptly labeled the sick chicken case. In this decision, the Court declared the National Industrial Recovery Act unconstitutional, thus abolishing the National Recovery Administration and the hundreds of codes it had enacted. President Franklin D. Roosevelt denounced the Courts action, which started him down the road to his ill-fated plan to pack the Court in 1937.</p><p>As Williamjames Hull Hoffer shows, however, the sick chicken case is about much more than a single piece of New Deal legislation. It is a window into American society during the Great Depression and the New Deala 1930s America before World War II and the Cold War, the age of radio and movie palaces, and a time of experimentation with government that some likened to fascism or communism, or maybe both. More than a landmark law case that threatened the New Deal, but ultimately did not, <em>Schechter Poultry</em> is not just about a sick chicken; it is about a sick nation trying to heal itself.</p>...7015415The Sick Chicken Case443615https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-sick-chicken-case-9780700638178/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6971406/image.jpg?v=638773175456930000InStockMXN99999DIEbook2025Inglés
