In the last decades of the nineteenth century, American social scientists, drawing on their experiences with the German social welfare system, became increasingly interested not merely in identifying problems, but in prescribing means by which to effect social change. This book is an effort to identify the various influences upon critical thinkers, and to examine their approaches to solving the social problems of the time.Routledge frontiers of political economy.Social controlSocial structureEconomicsSociological aspectsSocial scientistsUnited StatesPolitics and government1865-1933Social control.Social structure.EconomicsSociological aspects.Social scientists.973.91McCann Charles R(Charles Robert),1956-,252283MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814852903321Order and control in American socio-economic thought3926295UNINA
