Overview: This paper explores the backlash against and hostility toward the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by examining the relationship between politics, policy, and economics - particularly with regard to the interests of business. The paper argues that the backlash against the ADA is a product of capitalist opposition. This opposition has not only stifled the many benefits that might have resulted from effective ADA enforcement, it has promoted negative attitudes toward the ADA among groups of workers who have become fearful that their own interests will be jeopardized by the act's employment provisions.
