This non-fiction book explores the arguments of various thinkers on the issue of government regulation in the Progressive Era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Beginning with an overview of the predominant laissez-faire ideology of the time epitomized by the writings of William Graham Sumner, the book then presents liberal historian Richard Hofstadter's brief overview of Social Darwinism. The book examines Sumner's views on individualism, morality, and the appropriate role of the state in society, considering important concepts such as the tension between natural and man-made struggles. The author also presents the arguments of a wide range of intellectuals, including Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Robert Lively, and Judge Charles F. Amidon, who provide diverse perspectives on the complexities of the issue of government regulation and its impact on society. Concluding with an analysis of President Theodore Roosevelt's stance on the matter, the book highlights the varied and often conflicting views that shaped the debate during this period of significant social and economic change.
