"The socialists are coming!" (Or, are they already here?)
Two headlines from last week --
1. Warnings, from the recent Republican convention, of a "socialist agenda" if the Biden-Harris ticket is elected, and
2. A news story about an increase in overtime-pay litigation.
But wait, isn't litigation about workplace conditions part of a "socialist agenda?" This episode of "Coale Mind" examines that question in light of the Supreme Court's cases about government power to regulate the economy, when the "Lochner era" came to a crashing end during the New Deal.
