Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 241: Founded 1815 This is, it hardly need be mentioned, an election year: perhaps it is not too much of an exaggeration to say that it is a super-election year. Since our memories are very short, we are inclined to go about saying that it is the most astounding and spectacular election year that ever occurred. It is, therefore, interesting and sobering to turn back the files of the North American Review and find that a century ago political conditions were almost as chaotic, and economic trends equally insecure. Andrew Jackson, who was still President in 1836, was the founder of the spoils system, godfather of Farleyism and, perhaps, of all our "pressure groups" as well. In his time there were momentous Supreme Court decisions and, like the present President, he fought with the judiciary. As the Court had much less prestige in those days than it has today, Jackson, on one or two occasions, ignored its mandates completely. Immediately after the inauguration of his successor, Martin Van Buren, depression descended upon the country and the banks promptly closed their doors in what may now be regarded as the orthodox fashion. In the great depression of the ´forties, panaceas sprouted like clover and there were millenniums just around every corner.
