" ... a brave attempt to organise key questions about race, gender and class into an intellectual history which provides a critique of Americans' concerns to maintain individual liberty at the expense of equality and justice for all." --Business History, Oct 98 "Paulson's work is a fine addition to our historical understanding of a central theme in American history - the priority of individual rights over collective welfare. This is an important book that will have an important historiographic impact." Kathryn Kish Sklar, SUNY Binghamton "Paulson's delicate interweaving of civil rights, women's history, and business regulation causes the reader to reconsider the connectedness of strands of Gilded Age and Progressive Era social change that historians often keep separate. In elegant prose his thoughtful and compelling reinterpretation illuminates our understanding of the era in truly innovative ways." Stacy A. Cordery, Monmouth College "Paulson's analysis speaks to long-standing debates over the core values that define American society and the repeated attempts in America's past to bring those values and that society into greater harmony through movements for social change." Nancy A. Hewitt, Duke University
