Experts, Social Scientists, and Techniques of Prognosis in Cold War America

Christian Dayé

978-3-030-32781-1

2020
Edition 1
- Counters the emphasis on theory in the historiography of the social sciences and seeks to establish new interest in the history of empirical social research
- Suggests that epistemic hopes describe a social mechanism wherein the wish to do something good causes something bad: the adoption and maintenance of a non-optimal technique
- Steps back from policy analysis to focus on how expert knowledge is actually produced, offering a unique assessment of tacit assumptions and methodological inconsistencies
