Description

Social Facts And Forces: The Factory, The Labor Union, The Corporation, The Railway, The City, And The Church is a book written by Washington Gladden in 1897. The book examines the social and economic impact of six major institutions in American society at the turn of the 20th century. These institutions include factories, labor unions, corporations, railways, cities, and churches. Gladden explores the ways in which these institutions shape the lives of individuals and communities, and how they contribute to the overall social fabric of the United States. He discusses the role of each institution in the economy, as well as their impact on social and political issues such as labor rights, immigration, and urbanization.The book is divided into six chapters, each focusing on a different institution. Gladden provides historical context and analysis of each institution, drawing on his own experiences as a minister and social reformer. He also offers insights into the challenges and opportunities facing each institution in the rapidly changing social and economic landscape of the late 19th century.Social Facts And Forces is an important work of social commentary and analysis, offering a unique perspective on the forces shaping American society at the turn of the century.
