商品簡介
Thirteen essays examine the accuracy and impact of the Pittsburg Survey (1909-1914) in which statisticians, social workers, engineers, lawyers, physicians, economists, labor investigators, city planners, and photographers documented Pittsburg's degraded environment, corrupt civic institutions, and exploited labor force and made a compelling case for reforming corporate capitalism. The authors place this undisputed classic of social science research firmly in the context of the social reform movement of the early 20th century. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
