Mark Hendrickson both augments and amends this view by studying the origins and development of New Era policy expertise and knowledge. Policy-oriented social scientists in government, trade union, academic and nonprofit agencies showed how methods for achieving stable economic growth through increased productivity could both defang the dreaded business cycle and defuse the pattern of hostile class relations that Gilded Age depressions had helped to set as an American system of industrial relations. 517 3 $aAmerican Labor & Economic Citizenship 606 $aLabor$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLabor policy$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCapitalism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic conditions$y1918-1945 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic policy 615 0$aLabor$xHistory 615 0$aLabor policy$xHistory 615 0$aCapitalism$xHistory 676 $a331.0973/09042 700 $aHendrickson$b Mark$f1971-$01580397 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779992503321 996 $aAmerican labor and economic citizenship$93861296 997 $aUNINA
