Description: Current economic policy, Cummings argues, is the product of a union between conservative Republican and conservative Southern economic policy - a union that began in the late 1960s.

The conservative policy initiatives from this political union have led to some of the same economic problems that have plagued the South since Reconstruction and, fostered by conservative Republicans in the 1920s, ushered in the Great Depression. Current policies, argues Cummings, are leading the country into a similar trap.
