The debate over scientists' social responsibility is a topic of
great controversy today. Peter J. Kuznick here traces the origin of
that debate to the 1930s and places it in a context that forces a
reevaluation of the relationship between science and politics in
twentieth-century America. Kuznick reveals how an influential
segment of the American scientific community during the Depression
era underwent a profound transformation in its social values and
political beliefs, replacing a once-pervasive conservatism and
antipathy to political involvement with a new ethic of social
reform.
