关于作者
John Rogers Commons, born on October 13, 1862, and passing on May 11, 1945, was an eminent American institutional economist and labor historian, renowned for his seminal contributions to the study of American labor history and economic theory. Commons pursued an academic career that saw him deeply involved in the Progressive Movement, seeking to apply empirical methods to the study of economics, particularly in the realm of labor relations. His dedication was evident in his book ‘Races and Immigrants in America’ (1907), where Commons explores the sociological and economic impacts of immigration on American labor dynamics and the fabric of society. Displaying a preference for pragmatic and case study approaches, Commons’ scholarship dug into issues of ethnicity, race, and the assimilation challenges immigrants faced in the U.S. Labor market. As a pioneer of institutional economics, Commons’ work was central to shaping both the field and public policy. His influence extended into legislative reform, advocating for social welfare and worker rights. Commons’ scholarly canon, characterized by a blend of empiricism and advocacy, established him as a towering figure in early 20th century economic thought and policy development. He was not just a chronicler of economic phenomena but also an active participant in shaping the trajectory of American economic discourse.
