Crossing the Atlantic: Social Politics in the Progressive Era (humanities and Society Translation Series)
About This Novel
"Across the Atlantic" focuses on the interconnections, exchanges and competition between the two sides of the Atlantic in social policies, and tells how people strive to make up for the damage caused by over-indulgent capitalism in the process of Western industrialization and urbanization. From the Paris World's Fair in 1900 to the Beveridge Report in London in 1942, from the two world wars to Roosevelt's New Deal, the historical materials are rich and detailed, vividly recording various social policy attempts related to people's livelihood, including social insurance, urban planning, municipal services, rural education and housing reform. The vision not only spans the Atlantic Ocean, but also involves Australia and New Zealand. It always grasps the context of exchanges and interactions between countries and breaks the limitations of inherent ideological boundaries.
