SOCIOLOGY AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN THE UNITED STATES

In: Studies in comparative international development, Band 4, Heft 7, S. 151-161

Abstract

It is noted that sociol has often been criticized for not dealing adequately with soc change. A description is presented of change in US society from the 19th cent to its present advanced, industr, technological & integrated state. The hope is expressed that sociol may be on the verge of important advances in systematic substantive theory & may build at least partial deductive systems accounting for a large variety of soc phenomena in terms of quite simple structures.
