153 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. i (1931)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0153 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD THE Coming of Industry to the South has been one of the important recent economic developments in the United States. To the South, whose economic life is predominantly agrarian, it has meant the development of industrial resources, expansion of old and the growth of new manufactures, and the emergence of a complacent and uncritical philosophy that accepts and promotes industrialism with but little recognition of its social consequences. It means also that many of the problems of social and economic adjustment and of insta- bility that have characterized the transition from agriculture to industry else- where are arising in this region. To the United States as a whole it is significant partly because of the growth of certain industries in the South to positions of the first order, but particularly because it means that the section is being more closely integrated in the industrial life of the nation and that as this integration proceeds the attitude of the South toward national and international economic and political problems is changing. This volume of The Annals is designed to show the scope of industrial develop- ment in the South and some of its consequences. It analyzes many of the problems that have arisen as industries have grown and as communities in the Southern states have changed from a predominantly agricultural to an agri- cultural and industrial society. It describes many adjustments that are under way and obstacles that limit their progress, and suggests steps necessary for the progressive adaptation of economic and social life to industrial changes in the future. It also indicates essential features of a program to restore and preserve agriculture and at the same time promote the development of industry in a balanced economy. WILLIAM J. CARSON
