The Invisible Hand Of Planning: Capitalism, Social Science, And The State In The 1920S (Princeton Legacy Library, 35)

This is a study of a neglected chapter in the intertwined histories of business and government planning, the social sciences, and modern managerial society. It is, in particular, a study of mutually supportive collaboration between social science and managerial institutions in the attempt to create America's first peace-time system of macroeconomic management, a collaboration that appeared to be moving toward success in the 1920s but was incapable of preventing the Great Depression--Introduction.
