again sistren on point,

here is this, fomma google search on "eugenics".

"...Social Darwinism had attempted to explain away
social and economic inequalities as the "survival of
the fittest." However, by the turn of the century,
this simplistic idea had been turned on it's head. A
declining birthrate among the healthy and powerful
indicated that the captains of industry were, in fact
losing the struggle for existence. The working class
not only was organizing against them, but they were
also outproducing them. At the same time, traditional
approaches to solving the problems of the urban poor-
charity, social work and RELIGEOUS INSTITUTIONS- were
proving of little help.

Solving the new problems of industrialization
demanded a change from the laissez-faire to MANAGED
CAPITALISM- toward the INCREASED ROLE OF GOVERNMENT
AND PLANNING IN THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL SPHERE. THIS
NEW PHILOSOPHY became known as PROGRESSIVISM. EMBEDDED
IN PROGRESSIVISM WAS THE IDEA OF SCIENTIFIC
MANAGEMENT-
LONG RANGE PLANNING BY UNIVERSITY-trained
experts,.....etc , etc,....."

very interesting qween sehatasefekht how it all seems
to be related to the present even though a hundred
years old.
