The special danger of the New Frontier was that it was literally a global New Deal. Extending Röpke's meta­phor, one could say that the vines of the state ­were creeping outward through an expanding foreign aid program of government loans, which had drawn in the West German partner by 1960, and the more aggressive use of trade ­unions, including the establishment of the American Institute of ­Free ­Labor Development as part of Kennedy's Alliance for Pro­gress.
