Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Issue of Federal Regulation in the Progressive Era The substantial energies of government, though, were employed more often for help than for hindrance to enterprise. The broad and well-documented theme reviewed here is that of public support for business development. Official vision and public resources have been associated so regularly with private skil - Land individual desire that the combination may be said to constitute a principal determinant of Amer ican economic growth. Resolute Federal decision was in time te vealed to be a key to remarkable productive achievement, most notably during the wars of the twentieth century. States and cities meanwhile transferred their record of debt from millions to billions as they con structed the nation's highways and public buildings, and extended their public services;. Rising constantly from the impulse to public spirited undertakings, moreover, was the neo-mercantilism of regions and provinces of the American economy which came to replace the earlier and simpler competition of cities and states. Commercial clubs in the cities, industria'l commissions in the States, and governors' confer emees in the regions all joined in sponsorship of industrial expansion. The story sprawls out to ungovernable proportions to tax exemptions, police guaranteed labor discipline, municipal power plant construction, and on to rfc, tva, and aec. From the grass roots putting up shoots before Chamber of Commerce buildings to the office of the President's Council of Economic Advisors there can be documented the unceasing pressure for public sponsorship of economic growth.
