Deconstructing the Monolith
In Deconstructing the Monolith the economist Jason E. Taylor provides a microeconomic history of the National Industrial Recovery Act (Nira) that shifts attention away from macroeconomic questions—Did the Nira prolong the Great Depression? What impact did it have on unemployment and inflation?—and toward the actual operation of Nira codes on firm and industry levels. Taylor argues that in the two years of its existence between June 1933 and May 1…
Advance agent of expanding empires
In the late nineteenth century, American mining engineers and geologists fanned out to potential or existing mines around the world. This paper examines the work of George F. Becker—a forty-year veteran of the United States Geological Survey—in South Africa and the Philippines during the 1890s. Becker’s work on the world above and below ground provided a diverse audience with direct observations of attempted empire building underway and helped to…
Lynn Dumenil. The Second Line of Defense
The United States may have been actively engaged in World War I for only nineteen months, but the conflict had an outsized effect on American life. When the nation entered the war in April 1917, industry partially converted to wartime production, stimulating demand for labor at the same time that immigration plummeted, and the American military increased the number of troops from less than two hundred thousand to almost three million. The demands…

American Labor and Economic Citizenship
Once viewed as a distinct era characterized by intense bigotry, nostalgia for simpler times and a revulsion against active government, the 1920s have been rediscovered by historians in recent decades as a time when Herbert Hoover and his allies worked to significantly reform economic policy. Mark Hendrickson both augments and amends this view by studying the origins and development of New Era policy expertise and knowledge. Policy-oriented social…
Gender Research as Labor Activism
On June 5, 1920, Congress established the Women's Bureau, charging it to “formulate standards and policies which shall promote the welfare of wage-earning women, improve their working conditions, increase their efficiency, and advance their opportunities for profitable employment.” Support for the bureau was such that the House passed the bill by a vote of 255 to 10, and the Senate passed it without a recorded vote, though the Monthly Labor Revie…
Capitalism and Its Culture
Between February 28 and March 1, 2003, an interdisciplinary group of scholars gathered at the University of California, Santa Barbara to consider the evolution of Americans' thinking about capitalism in the last half of the twentieth century. The conference, organized by Nelson Lichtenstein (University of California, Santa Barbara) and entitled “Capitalism and Its Culture: Rethinking Twentieth-Century American Social Thought,” focused on the year…
