If there was one book that compelled me to spend my life as an historian studying the Gilded Age and Progressive Era it is The Shame of Cities by muckraking journalist Lincoln Steffens. Collected in book form, these essays were originally published as a series of articles in McClure's magazine investigating the corruption of American cities. It tells a sordid picture of politics that shocked many at the time and contributed to some significant reforms and improvements in government practices. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

This muckraking classic attacked corrupt election practices and shady dealings in businesses and city governments across the nation. Taking a hard look at the unprincipled lives of political bosses, police corruption, graft payments, and other notorious political abuses of the time, the book set the style for future investigative reporting.
