Once viewed as a distinct era characterized by intense bigotry,
nostalgia for simpler times and a revulsion against active
government, the 1920s have been rediscovered by historians in
recent decades as a time when Herbert Hoover and his allies worked
to significantly reform economic policy. Mark Hendrickson both
augments and amends this view by studying the origins and
development of New Era policy expertise and knowledge.
Policy-oriented social scientists in government, trade union,
academic and nonprofit agencies showed how methods for achieving
stable economic growth through increased productivity could both
defang the dreaded business cycle and defuse the pattern of hostile
class relations that Gilded Age depressions had helped to set as an
American system of industrial relations.
