Item description from seller

First edition, presentation copy, inscribed by Rexford Guy Tugwell and signed by the authors on the front free endpaper, "To Gerrit A. Beneker, with thanks for valued cooperation. Rexford Guy Tugwell, Roy E. Stryker, Thomas Munro." Beneker (1882-1934), an American painter renowned for his industrial artwork and First World War propaganda posters, shared with the authors a Progressive, Institutionalist sensibility. This work examines how America can use rational economic planning, scientific management, and industrial technology to elevate national prosperity and human welfare. Originally privately printed for Columbia College's "Introduction to Contemporary Civilization" course in the spring of 1925, it includes photographs by sociologist and muckraker Lewis Wickes Hine. Octavo. Portrait frontispiece, in-text illustrations, photographs, graphs, and tables. Original dark red boards, spine lettered in gilt, publisher's device in blind on front cover. With dust jacket. A couple of bumps, light foxing to textblock edges and endpapers; jacket unclipped, spine and panels toned, extensive insect damage, particularly to spine head and flap folds, front flap creased, a few small chips; a very good copy in good jacket. …
