Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the early twentieth century shift in American social policy, characterised by the convergence of exploitation and conservation as master words. The exploitation of natural resources and human energy, prevalent throughout recorded history, has often been met with resistance. But the US found itself in the unique position of opposing exploitation not through fighting, but instead by changing laws and policies, and treating exploitation as a social issue. This new approach sought to conserve natural resources and physical and human energy in order to ensure the well-being of the country and its people. The author explores the impact of this shift on labor issues, particularly the exploitation of children in mines and factories, the transfer of women from the home to the factory, and the resulting need for social protection. Overall, this book's insights into the substantial value of human life provide valuable historical context to the complex issues of exploitation and conservation of resources, which remain relevant in the present day.
