Summary
The author charts the origins of 'social science' in the 1930s and 1940s, from the small animal mazes and 'punishment grills' through the influx of funding during World War II and the later involvement of the CIA and other government agencies.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Deeply researched, World as Laboratory tells a secret history that’s not really a secret. The fruits of human engineering are all around us: advertising, polls, focus groups, the ubiquitous habit of “spin” practiced by marketers and politicians. What Rebecca Lemov cleverly traces for the first time is how the absurd, the practical, and the dangerous experiments of the human engineers of the first half of the twentieth century left their laboratories to become our day-to-day reality.
