Synopsis
Excerpt from The Issue of Federal Regulation in the Progressive Era
The substantial energies of government, though, were employed more often for help than for hindrance to enterprise. The broad and well-documented theme reviewed here is that of public support for business development. Official vision and public resources have been associated so regularly with private skil - Land individual desire that the combination may be said to constitute a principal determinant of Amer ican economic growth. Resolute Federal decision was in time te vealed to be a key to remarkable productive achievement, most notably during the wars of the twentieth century. States and cities meanwhile transferred their record of debt from millions to billions as they con structed the nation's highways and public buildings, and extended their public services;. Rising constantly from the impulse to public spirited undertakings, moreover, was the neo-mercantilism of regions and provinces of the American economy which came to replace the earlier and simpler competition of cities and states. Commercial clubs in the cities, industria'l commissions in the States, and governors' confer emees in the regions all joined in sponsorship of industrial expansion. The story sprawls out to ungovernable proportions to tax exemptions, police guaranteed labor discipline, municipal power plant construction, and on to rfc, tva, and aec. From the grass roots putting up shoots before Chamber of Commerce buildings to the office of the President's Council of Economic Advisors there can be documented the unceasing pressure for public sponsorship of economic growth.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This non-fiction book explores the arguments of various thinkers on the issue of government regulation in the Progressive Era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Beginning with an overview of the predominant laissez-faire ideology of the time epitomized by the writings of William Graham Sumner, the book then presents liberal historian Richard Hofstadter's brief overview of Social Darwinism. The book examines Sumner's views on individualism, morality, and the appropriate role of the state in society, considering important concepts such as the tension between natural and man-made struggles. The author also presents the arguments of a wide range of intellectuals, including Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Robert Lively, and Judge Charles F. Amidon, who provide diverse perspectives on the complexities of the issue of government regulation and its impact on society. Concluding with an analysis of President Theodore Roosevelt's stance on the matter, the book highlights the varied and often conflicting views that shaped the debate during this period of significant social and economic change.
