THE AMERICAN WELFARE state has long been characterized as a “laggard” in comparative perspective.1 The conventional wisdom suggests that a conservative coalition of southern Democrats and Republicans successfully limited the development of American social policy. Nevertheless, the American political system somehow allowed programs like Social Security, unemployment insurance, food stamps, Medicare, Medicaid, and the refundable Earned Income Tax Credit to slip through. Indeed, federal policymakers achieved a range of social policy reforms between 1935 and the present despite the nation’s systematic favoring of the status quo and its fragmented political institutions.2 This essay, focusing on the federal minimum wage, examines the conventional wisdom on the constraints and limits imposed by the conservative coalition within twentieth-century American political history. The most well-known redistributive programs, the “big bangs” of the New Deal and the Great Society, were enacted in congresses with extraordinary Democratic majorities. A range of research holds that narrowly targeted

In 1949, scholar W. E. B. Du Bois complained bitterly that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was useless in the fight to free Africa from colonialism because the association was just a “bourgeois set-up, afraid to do anything that is not respectable.”1 Indeed, historians’ understanding of one of the most significant transformations in the twentieth century, decolonization, often echoes Du Bois’s assessment that only “radicals” had the mettle to take on this battle for the right to self-determination.2
1949年，学者w·e·b·杜波依斯(W. E. B. Du Bois)愤愤地抱怨说，全国有色人种协进会(NAACP)在将非洲从殖民主义中解放出来的斗争中毫无用处，因为该协会只是一个“资产阶级组织，不敢做任何不受尊重的事情”。事实上，历史学家对二十世纪最重要的变革之一——非殖民化的理解，常常与杜波依斯的评价相呼应，即只有“激进分子”才有勇气为争取自决权而战
