Book Description
Excerpt from The Life Public Services of Simon Sterne The following pages are designed to perpetuate the memory of a man whose life was devoted to the service of humanity. Simon Sterne never held executive office, but he did much to raise the standard of responsibility attached to the adminis tration of a public trust he never sat in the State or National Legislature, but no man of his genera tion exercised so much influence in elevating the character oflegislative methods he never occupied a place on the Bench, but the interpretation of the law affecting railroads and corporations owes more to him than any one of his contemporaries. His life was full of activity, and from his twenty second year to his death there was no year in it which was not rich in effort that redounded to the benefit of his fellowmen. The author of this volume disclaims other credit for its con tents than that which belongs to the judicious compiler and conscientious interpreter. All of the book that is his is the arrangement of its contents, and the thread of narrative and explana tion on which the subject - matter is strung.

Railroads and Regulations, 1877-1916
Author: Gabriel Kolko
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400878748
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
This examination of the relationship of the economy to political process in the United States from 1877 to 1916 shows how the railroad industry encouraged and relied on national politics to solve its economic problems, and created a precedent for government regulation of the economy in the twentieth century. The continuity in governmental regulation from 1877 to 1900, in the Progressive Era, and in the administrations of Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson are pointed out. The origin of each major federal railroad act and contending forces is analyzed. Federal regulation of the railroads, probably the most important example of federal intervention in the economy from the Civil War to World War I is used as a key in reassessing the motives behind Progressivism. Originally published in 1965. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

The Democratic Experiment
Author: Meg Jacobs
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400825822
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 441
Book Description
In a series of fascinating essays that explore topics in American politics from the nation's founding to the present day , The Democratic Experiment opens up exciting new avenues for historical research while offering bold claims about the tensions that have animated American public life. Revealing the fierce struggles that have taken place over the role of the federal government and the character of representative democracy, the authors trace the contested and dynamic evolution of the national polity. The contributors, who represent the leading new voices in the revitalized field of American political history, offer original interpretations of the nation's political past by blending methodological insights from the new institutionalism in the social sciences and studies of political culture. They tackle topics as wide-ranging as the role of personal character of political elites in the Early Republic, to the importance of courts in building a modern regulatory state, to the centrality of local political institutions in the late twentieth century. Placing these essays side by side encourages the asking of new questions about the forces that have shaped American politics over time. An unparalleled example of the new political history in action, this book will be vastly influential in the field. In addition to the editors, the contributors are Brian Balogh, Sven Beckert, Rebecca Edwards, Joanne B. Freeman, Richard R. John, Ira Katznelson, James T. Kloppenberg, Matthew D. Lassiter, Thomas J. Sugrue, Michael Vorenberg, and Michael Willrich.
