The New American Deal

A contemporary political work about responsibility, power, and rebuilding a fairer American social contract.

  • Democracy and accountability
  • Work, dignity, and the real economy
  • Building a sustainable, just future

Summary

The New American Deal is a book of essays and arguments that asks a simple question: if we had to rebuild the American social contract from scratch—what would it look like?

Maxwell Frazier examines how power, capital, technology, and government shape everyday life in the United States. Topics include debt, wages, housing, climate, education, and public trust—framed around creating a transparent, dignified, sustainable future.

Description

The New American Deal invites readers into a structured examination of what we owe one another in a constitutional democracy. It situates modern policy debates within history, economics, and civic responsibility.

It asks whether ordinary citizens ever truly had a seat at the table—and what it would look like if they finally did.

Excerpt

From the introduction

We talk about “the economy” as if it were something that happens to us, not something we build. But every rule, every tax, every subsidy, every line of code and every contract is a choice. The question is not whether we will have a deal; the question is who it is written for.
