Summary: Insightful and well-researched
Comment: In this highly useful book, Dr. Smith, a professor of American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, provides a powerful historical lens onto questions fundamental to social science. Looking at fascinating, representative thinkers--Wesley Mitchell, Charles Merriam, Robert Lynd, Charles Beard, and Harold D. Lasswell---Smith asks "Knowledge for What?", i.e., should social science be the quest for understanding the world "objectively" or "scientifically" or remaking the world through a passionate commitment to social justice and research as advocacy. Well worth the time of scholars and students in US history, American Studies, and various social sciences.
