Olivier Zunz shows how American elites appropriated the twentieth century. Policymakers, corporate managers, engineers, scientists, and social scientists promoted a social contract of abundance and a controversial theory of pluralism. Their efforts created a model of middle class behavior for America and for the rest of the world.
The first edition of this book dates from 1892 (it marked the 400th anniversary of Columbus' discovery of America), and the second was published in 1980. This is the third, linguistically updated edition of Carić's book.
