Earlier reformers, progressives of his day, and later New Dealers lamented the nation's resistance to models abroad for correctives to the backwardness of American social politics. This text is an account of the vibrant international network that they constructed - so often obscured by notions of American exceptionalism - and of its profound impact on the USA from the 1870's through to 1945.;On a narrative canvas that sweeps across Europe and the United States, Daniel Rodgers retells the story of the classic era efforts to repair the damages of unbridled capitalism. He reveals the forgotten international roots of such innovations as city planning, rural co-operatives, modernist architecture for public housing, and social insurance, among other reforms.; From small beginnings to reconstructions of the new great cities and rural life, and to the wide-ranging mechanics of social security for working people, Rodgers finds the interconnections, adaptations, exchanges, and even rivalries in the Atlantic region's social planning. He uncovers the immense diffusion of talent, ideas, and action that were breathtaking in their range and impact.Progressivism (United States politics)United StatesSocial conditionsUnited StatesEconomic conditionsEuropeSocial conditionsEuropeEconomic conditionsEuropeForeign economic relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign economic relationsEuropeElectronic books.Progressivism (United States politics)306.0973Rodgers Daniel T564707MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458002303321Atlantic crossings1768474UNINA
