Bøker av Morton Keller

Morton Keller recounts his "not extraordinary life played out in quite extraordinary times" - from the Great Depression to World War Two, the cold war, the sixties, and 9/11. A classic American saga of respectable achievement from relatively humble origins, his life through eight-plus decades resonates beyond the individual to echo the experiences, the beliefs, and the values of his generation.

Keller gives us a remarkable portrait of the emergence of modern society and its distinctive transformations and social problems. Integrating political, legal, and governmental history, he provides the first comprehensive study of the ideas and interests that shaped early 20th-century American social policy.

Morton Keller, a leading scholar of twentieth-century American history, describes the complex interplay between rapid economic change and regulatory policy.
