Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Labor and Administration
If Wisconsin dominates the book, it is because I can best speak of what I see and know in Wisconsin. Com ing to the state in 1904, La Follette, a leader who studied his subject, was just winning a ten-year battle for the people's control of their government. Six years later, the equally forceful Victor Berger led his class con scious wage-earners into a partial control of Mil waukee. Here both progressivism and socialism won their first notable victories in America. Here, too, was a unique university utilitarian, idealistic and free. Here investigation accompanied action. Here the people seem to think that democracy must be efficient if plutoc racy is to stay out. Surely, ten such interesting years in Wisconsin would be expected to color the book.
