Description

Explore the foundational history of American sociology through this comprehensive study of Edward Alsworth Ross. As a former economist turned sociologist, Ross played a major role in moving the study of social forces into public discourse. This book provides the first full analysis of his intellectual legacy, examining how his theories on social control helped establish sociology as an independent academic discipline. Readers will learn about Ross's transition from criticizing monopolies to investigating the larger social issues of his era. The text uses new sources to explain how his work elevated social research into an academic necessity. By studying his efforts to identify the forces that unify people into sustainable groups, scholars and students gain a deeper understanding of the origins of modern sociological thought and the development of social research as a vital field of study.
