Atlantic Crossings - Social Politics in a Progressive Age - Grand Format

On a narrative canvas that sweeps across six European countries, Australia, and the United States, Daniel Rodgers retells the story of the classic era of efforts to repair the damages of unbridled capitalism. Rodgers reveals the forgotten international roots of such innovations as city planning, rural cooperatives, modernist architecture for public housing, and social insurance, among other reforms.
From small beginnings to reconstructions of the new great cities and rural life, and to the wide-ranging mechanics of social security for working people, he uncovers the immense diffusion of talent, ideas, and action that were breathtaking in their range and impact.
