About This Book
"In this book, David H. Guston combines political-economic, sociological, and historical insights to analyze the ways the integrity and productivity of research are negotiated in the United States. He shows how. after World War II, a "social contract for science" assumed integrity and productivity were the automatic products of unfettered scientific inquiry.
Surveying four decades of controversies in science policy, Guston demonstrates how this assumption endured inquiries into the loyalty, the financial Accountability, and the technological goals of scientists."--BOOK JACKET.
