Abstract

An illuminating historical essay describing the origins of modern sociology and the theory and practice of the "total State." The author's well-selected material is taken primarily from the works of the French sociologists of the nineteenth century. The book's main contribution consists in showing the relevance to American society of the prophecies of the French "Messianic Bohemians," who emphasized the need for cooperation between labor and entrepreneurs.--C. M.
