A work that deeply reconceptualizes the New Deal and raises countless provocative questions (David Kennedy), Fear Itself changes the ground rules for our understanding of this pivotal era in American history. Ira Katznelson examines the New Deal through the lens of a pervasive, almost existential fear that gripped a world defined by the collapse of capitalism and the rise of competing dictatorships, as well as a fear created by the ruinous racial divisions in American society. Katznelson argues that American democracy was both saved and distorted by a Faustian collaboration that guarded racial segregation as it built a new national state to manage capitalism and assert global power. Fear Itself charts the creation of the modern American state and how a belief in the common good gave way to a central government dominated by interest-group politics and obsessed with national security (Louis Menand, The New Yorker)."Binding Type: Paperback

Right tool for the money
Style: Lawn Edger w/(1) 4.0 Ah Battery
Very impressed with this WORX Cordless Lawn Edger. My driveway have never been edged in over 30 years, this edger handled the job with ease, made a pass at one inch and then two inches. My driveway is 80 feet long, after the two passes I was left with one bar of battery power, great tool for the price. I would definitely recommend this product to any home owner that maintains their own yard.

Great battery powered edger
Style: Lawn Edger w/(1) 4.0 Ah Battery
This edger works great love the guide for along sidewalks and curbside lawns. It is a little underpowered for really thick lawns battery goes down fairly fast on the thicker areas but all in all it’s great

The blade is not sharpen.
Style: Lawn Edger w/(1) 4.0 Ah Battery
I had no problems assembling the equipment. The problem is with the blade. It doesn't have any sharpen. I bough spares blades which have a different configuration and better edge. However I haven't been able to unscrew the bolt in order to install the new blade. It is extremely tied. One would think that you purchase this equipment, at a high price, and would be able to use it right away. In your dream. This is a Third World Country selling things at an incredible high prices, for the profit of the American companies using the manpower of other Third World Countries or China.
Since the blade is not sharp, when you try to use the equipment it got disconnected. Therefore it does not work with the blade that comes from the manufacturer. Total disaster.

Worx very well!
Style: Lawn Edger w/(1) 4.0 Ah Battery
Worx very well. ;)
More power than I expected from a 20v cordless machine. And with the 4Ahr battery it comes with, I was able to do the drive, walks, and patio without having to change batteries. I own 2 Worx string trimmers, chainsaw, hedge trimmer, drill impact driver, and leaf blower. Love them all.

Problematic instructions
Style: Lawn Edger w/(1) 4.0 Ah Battery
The product is great once u figure out how to assemble. The instructions don’t do it. I was not happy. Every part was a challenge. The instruction book only shows a photo but not how to get it to look like the photo.
