Soft Regulatory Capture and Institutional Change
Habitus and personality in the work of Max Weber
Weber's critique of modernity centred on how it shaped the habitus - life-conduct and motivations - of the modern individual. I explicate six habitus-types that appear in Weber's work: the early-modern Puritan Berufsmensch, the modern specialist, the modern industrial worker, the politician, the civil servant and the citizen voter. In doing so, I identify the main characteristics of each type and the causal mechanisms through which Western modern…
Carrots over Sticks? Mothers’ Pensions and Child Labor in the Early 20th Century U.S
While existing research suggests that nineteenth-century child labor laws largely failed to significantly reduce children’s workforce participation, we examine whether policies that tackled the problem by providing aid – rather than by penalizing work – were more effective. Between 1910 and 1920, forty U.S. states enacted mothers’ pension programs, giving needy “deserving” mothers, typically widows, cash aid to support their dependent children. O…
Agents of Reform
The beginnings of the modern welfare state are often traced to the late nineteenth-century labor movement and to policymakers' efforts to appeal to working-class voters. But this book shows that the regulatory welfare state began a half century earlier, in the 1830s, with the passage of the first child labor laws. The book tells the story of how middle-class and elite reformers in Europe and the United States defined child labor as a threat to so…

The Fiscalization of Social Policy
Child Labor in America
This meticulously researched and clearly written book chronicles the struggle for federal child labor legislation from the failed Beveridge-Parsons bill of 1906 through the historic Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. John A. Fliter’s thorough account is sandwiched between helpful overviews of early state-level efforts to tackle the child labor problem and more recent attempts to change child labor laws at the state and federal levels. The book doe…
Policy Entrepreneurs and the Origins of the Regulatory Welfare State
Industrial child labor laws were the earliest manifestation of the modern regulatory welfare state. Why, despite the absence of political pressure from below, did some states (but not others) succeed in legislating working hours, minimum ages, and schooling requirements for working children in the first half of the nineteenth century? I use case studies of the politics behind the first child labor laws in Germany and France, alongside a case stud…
An Unlikely Alliance
Despite the recently demonstrated importance of consumer credit for the economic health of nations and families, little is known about the history of consumer credit markets and their regulation. An important chapter in the history of consumer credit regulation came between 1909 and 1941, when policy experts at the Russell Sage Foundation (RSF) engaged in a national campaign to transform small loan markets and policy in the United States. Concent…
