"Social Legislation and Social Activity" by the American Academy of Political and Social Science, is a record of speeches from a meeting in Philadelphia during the early 1900s, examining important social problems of the time, like getting around, worker issues, places to live, and kids working. It thinks about the tough situations and new laws that came up when the country started making a lot more things. It starts with a speech by Martin A. Knapp, who headed up the Interstate Commerce Commission, talking about how transportation changed, from old ways to trains, and how this changed how people lived and did business. He explains how transportation affects where people live, what they buy, and how they connect with each other, which brings up questions about what we should do as things get more advanced.
