"As the last presumptive founder of American sociology, Edward Alsworth Ross (1866-1951) was the first to secure its place in public discourse. Originally an economist who strongly criticized monopolies, Ross sought answers to the larger social issues of his day. His theory of social control helped to unify sociology into an independent discipline and elevate social research into an academic necessity. He implored sociologists to explain those social forces that unified people into sustainable groups.
This first full analysis of Ross's intellectual legacy uses new sources to explore more broadly the scope of his influence."--BOOK JACKET.
