| Tiivistelmä: | Economics should be built upon a sociological foundation, believed John R. Commons. While pursuing this conviction his chair in sociology was terminated in 1899. From then until 1904, exiled from academia, he investigated a field for the U.S. Industrial Commission and the U.S. Bureau of Labor and participated in the National Civic Federation, amassing first-hand knowledge of conflict resolution arranged by capitalists' "combinations" and by labor unions' bargaining with employers. These experiences inspired ideas concerning sociology and economics and beliefs that public policy should turn away from antitrust law and instead attempt to create counterbalancing power in the economic system. |
