In her chapters, Quadagno traces the failures of the New Deal. When the Social Security Act established a foundation for national state welfare the omission of domestic and agricultural workers mirrored a compromise between Roosevelt and Southern Democrats. Quadagno argues that while other industrialized nations were institutionalizing stronger welfare state provisions, the United States was still undergoing the process of democratization. Quadagno compliments the scholarship exploring the relationship between racialized public policy and the trajectory of the reproductive rights movement in the United States.

Because the War on Poverty faced an industrialized nation still in the process of extending democracy to all its citizens, broader inroads into strengthening the welfare state could not be realized.
