This book, the first comprehensive history of the INternational Basic Economy Corporation, draws upon the recently opened records of IBEC, the personal papers of Rodman Rockefeller, and interviews with more than twenty former executives. It demonstrates that the IBEC experiment did succeed in defining the limitis within which every subsequent "company with a mission" would have to work.

(This is a biography of a man who lived at the intersectio...)
This is a biography of a man who lived at the intersection of a number of historical currents in the early twentieth century, from his upbringing in the Progressive era to his leadership among the first liberal Republicans of the 1930s. His life and career involved such notables as Theodore Roosevelt, Prescott Bush, John J. McCloy, Gertrude Stein, Fiorello LaGuardia, Bruce Barton, Thomas Dewey, and Wendell Willkie, to name only a few. Most importantly, the book documents a critical struggle in American politics that is today highly worthy of study: the Republican Party's contentious attempts to grapple with its new minority status during the New Deal Years. In fast-paced prose it lays out the terms of disagreement among Republicans (which mirror those that exist today) and introduces the reader to key players in Republican politics both nationally and locally. Simpson's warning to Republicans in the 1930s is worth considering now: "If we turn toward reaction we might as well fold up. If we look forward we cannot miss."

In this nuanced look at white working-class life and politics in twentieth-century America, Kenneth Durr takes readers into the neighborhoods, workplaces, and community institutions of blue-collar Baltimore in the decades after World War II. Challenging notions that the "white backlash" of the 1960s and 1970s was driven by increasing race resentment, Durr details the rise of a working-class populism shaped by mistrust of the means and ends of postwar liberalism in the face of urban decline. Exploring the effects of desegregation, deindustrialization, recession, and the rise of urban crime, Durr shows how legitimate economic, social, and political grievances convinced white working-class Baltimoreans that they were threatened more by the actions of liberal policymakers than by the incursions of urban blacks. While acknowledging the parochialism and racial exclusivity of white working-class life, Durr adopts an empathetic view of workers and their institutions. Behind the Backlash melds ethnic, labor, and political history to paint a rich portrait of urban life--and the sweeping social and economic changes that reshaped America's cities and politics in the late twentieth century.
