Abstract
Professor of history Gary Gerstle talks about the rise of organized labor in the 1930's, when the Great Depression cost millions of Americans their jobs. He explains that, in 1935, President Roosevelt engineered two of the most important pieces of legislation of the twentieth century. "One is the Wagner Act," he says, "which gives workers the right to organize. The other is the Social Security Act, which becomes the foundation of the American welfare state."
