 Scientists, Business, and the State, 1890-1960, by Patrick J. McGrath. Introduction.
The organizational and ideological terms on which scientists collaborated with the state were, I argue in Chapters 5 and 6, continuations of the terms on which they had been collaborating with the corporate sector over the preceding generation.
The America of 1890 was still a political economy dominated by "courts and parties," as the scholars Morton Keller and Stephen Skowronek observed.[2] New scientific innovations emerging from urban technical communities and financed by New York's investment elites led to the creation of large, science-based corporate monopolies in the electrical and chemical fields.
The leaders of these companies, in conjunction with intellectual and scientific elites who had their own professional and political agendas, fashioned an ideology in which the process of corporate production and innovation was elevated to a central place in American culture.

Second, state universities, established through the allocation of public lands in the Morrill Act of 1862 and required to be "open for all," made college educations accessible for the first time to large numbers of middle-class daughters in the nation's central and western states.
In the United States this movement was predominantly female, and the neighborhoods were populated by immigrants.

 Utopia by Lincoln Child, ISBN 0385506686 And Scientists, Business, and the State, 1890-1960 by Patrick J. McGrath, ISBN ...

McGrath describes how, between 1890 and 1960, scientific, business, and political leaders together forged a new definition of American democracy in which science and technology were presented to the public as crucial ingredients of the nation's progress, prosperity, and political stability.

But as scientists became more prominent, they provoked conflicts among themselves as well as with their institutional patrons over exactly how their expertise should be used.
He finds that, by the end of the 1950s, scientists were regarded by the political and military elite not as partners but as subordinate technicians who were expected to supply weapons on demand for the Cold War state.

 Defending Rights - Law, Labor Politics, and the State in California, 1890-1925 - Thomas R. Clark
In ongoing efforts to understand the "exceptionalism" of the American labor movement, historians have proposed a reason why American unions never fully embraced the independent and social democratic politics of their European counterparts: a hostile legal system, they argue, fostered a deep distrust of state intervention among early labor leaders.
By focusing on law and labor activity at the state level rather than the national level and using California as his case study, Clark shows how legal hostility pushed labor into politics on a local level with greater urgency and failed to compel labor to oppose state intervention more generally.
Thomas Ralph Clark is a lecturer in the Department of History at California State University, Sacramento.
