By emphasizing the role of intellectual elites in social policy
developments, the book is a timely contribution to the recent
literature about the emergence and production of ‘social
knowledge’… Socializing Security is a contribution of great
relevance to ongoing theoretical debates as well as to the studies
of the development of the American welfare state.
*Social Policy*
Socializing Security makes a major contribution to several fields,
namely the history of the welfare state in America, the Progressive
Era, the intellectual history of economics, and the responses to
the industrial revolution… A splendid piece of work.
*John Milton Cooper, Jr., University of Wisconsin–Madison*
An important contribution to the ongoing debate over the origins of
the modern state. Moss very deftly and very persuasively lays out
the significance of the American Association for Labor Legislation
for our understanding of labor reform and the rise of the welfare
state in the Progressive Era.
*Michael McGerr, Indiana University*
