Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In this early 20th-century sociological study, the author surveys the social and economic changes in a rural New York community from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century. The author traces the changes in rural culture from the period when rural values dominated social attitudes to the period when rural villages grew in importance, bringing a new emphasis on individualism, economic competition, and social rivalry. The author provides rich detail on the changing values and behaviors within the rural community, such as the move away from a predominant focus on nature towards a greater concern with social status and material wealth. The author's insights provide valuable context for understanding the evolution of rural American culture and its far-reaching impact on the nation's social and economic development.
