    Who was the author of "A New Deal", the book that inspired Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1932 election platform?

    		Stuart Chase, 1932.

    It can hardly be given sole credit as the inspiration for Roosevelt's platform.
    Here are a few of the publications that contributed:

    Charles A. Beard, “The Rationality of Planned Economy,” in America Faces the Future (1932)

    Rexford G. Tugwell, “The Principle of Planning and the Institution of Laissez-Faire,” American Economic Review (1932)

    Stuart Chase, A New Deal (1932)

    Chester Davis, “Toward Planned Harvests,” Review of Reviews (1933)

    Maxwell S. Stewart, “Where Everyone Has a Job,” Survey Graphic (1931)

    It does seem to have been the inspiration for the popular name of the program. I had always thought I had heard an FDR quote, "...a new deal for all Americans," but cannot find a reference. Can anyone help on that?
