A New Kind of Justice explores the issues before the Court during the period after the Civil War through to the late 1930's. It was a time of unprecedented economic growth and the conflict between capital and labor was rife. As corporations became more powerful they found an unlikely ally in the Supreme Court. "What the Court decides today, while obviously gripping and part of our culture wars, is chicken feed compared to what the Court presided over in the 1890s, " William Forbath, Professor of History at University of Texas at Austin explains, "The Court had in its hands the future of industrial America. Sober, thoughtful Americans, not hysterical people, thought the nation was at the brink of class war."
