"Americans today often associate scientific and technological change with national progress and personal well-being. Yet underneath such confident assumptions, serious questions about the direction and social implications of scientific and technological change persist. In Inventing Ourselves Out of Jobs?
Amy Sue Bix locates the origins of such conflict in the Great Depression of the 1930s, when the country's social and economic crisis forced many Americans to re-examine ideas about science, technology, and progress."--BOOK JACKET.
