The Creative Society is the first history to look at modern America
through the eyes of its emerging ranks of professional experts,
including lawyers, scientists, doctors, administrators, business
managers, teachers, policy specialists and urban planners. Covering
the period from the 1890s to the early twenty-first century, Louis
Galambos examines the history that shaped professionals and, in
turn, their role in shaping modern America. He considers the roles
of education, anti-Semitism, racism and elitism in shaping and
defining the professional cadre and examines how matters of gender,
race and ethnicity determined whether women, African Americans and
immigrants from Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East
were admitted to the professional ranks. He also discusses the role
professionals played in urbanizing the United States, keeping the
economy efficient and innovative, showing the government how to
provide a greater measure of security and equity, and guiding the
world's leading industrial power in coping with its complex,
frequently dangerous foreign relations.
