Liberty, Equality, And Justice

Civil Rights, Women's Rights, And The Regulation Of Business, 1865-1932

ROSS EVANS PAULSON
studies social and intellectual changes in a critical period of American history--from the end of the Civil War to the early days of the Depression--and argues that attempts to achieve civil rights, women's rights, and the regulation of business faltered because so many Americans ranked liberty for themselves higher than equality with others and justice for all. He integrates the experiences of diverse populations--including African Americans, women, Asian immigrants, Native Americans, and working people--and offers a new interpretation of the ways in which social change and political events interact to reframe the many possibilities of American society.

Featuring a colorful cast of savvy entrepreneurs, brilliant eccentrics and resourceful visionaries, 'Chocolate Wars' is the story of a uniquely alluring product and of the evolution, for better and worse, of modern business.
