the problem with comparisons with fdr really is that the geography of capitalism is very different from how it was in the 1930s-1940s. it is not at all clear that a nation-state scale war, a world war, would function in the same way to jack up production levels as it did in then.
i think that the states needs more social-democratic policy and more inventive social-democratic policy in order to even begin getting out of the hole neo-liberalism has sunk in the belly of the beast itself.
