Summary
The chapter examines major decisinos upholding various forms of government intervention in the economy, including rejecting contitutional challenges to the National Labor Relations Act and the Social Security Act. These decisions have been taken, correctly, to show that the Court had shifted its jurisprudence from hostility to regulation to acceptance of it -- and perhaps incorrectly as showing the Court succumbing to the pressure manifested during the Court-packing fight.
