Banta, Martha: Taylored Lives. Narrative Productions in the Age of Taylor, Veblen, and Ford.
-University of Chicago Press, 1993-
First edition. xiii+431 pages with index. Illustrated. Cloth & boards. Near fine in very good dustjacket. Scientific management: technology spawned it, Frederick Winslow Taylor championed it, Thorstein Veblen dissected it, Henry Ford implemented it. By the turn of the century, practical visionaries prided themselves on having arrived at "the one best way" both to increase industrial productivity and to regulate human behavior. Martha Banta takes a close look at texts ranging from mail order catalogs and popular romances to the works of Henry Adams and Nathanael West to trace the effects of the efficiency craze on the full fabric of American culture. This item has been price-checked for good value in 2011. We have 30 years experience in bookselling, mail order, shops, and internet for 10 years.
