Description

Explore the transformative period of the Progressive Era through this scholarly examination of American socio-economic thought. As the nineteenth century drew to a close, American social scientists began looking toward the German social welfare system to find solutions for a rapidly changing society. This work tracks how these thinkers moved beyond simply identifying social issues to actively prescribing methods for social change. This volume offers a detailed look at the various influences that shaped critical thinkers during this era of extraordinary social, political, and economic shifts. It examines the specific approaches used to address the complex social problems of the time, providing a deep understanding of how experts sought to implement order and control within the American landscape. This book is an essential resource for those studying the history of economic thought and the evolution of social science in the United States.
