About the author

The American Academy of Political and Social Science is not an individual author but a nonprofit scholarly organization. It was founded on December 14, 1889, when a small group led by political economist Edmund J. James set out to create a forum where research on political, economic, and social issues could speak directly to real-world problems.

From the start, the Academy emphasized an unusually broad view of the social sciences, bringing multiple disciplines together rather than treating them as separate silos. That mission still shapes its work today: the organization supports social science research in the public interest, hosts programs and events, and recognizes distinguished fellows whose work has influenced scholarship and public life.

It is especially associated with The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, a journal that began publication in 1890 and continues to publish themed volumes on major public issues. For audiobook listeners, the Academy is best understood as a trusted institutional voice that gathers experts, frames big civic questions clearly, and helps connect scholarship with policy.
