Secretary Hoover and the Bituminous Coal Problem, 1921-1928

Ellis W. Hawley

Business History Review, 1968, vol. 42, issue 3, 247-270

Abstract: For seven years, the economic philosophy and political values of Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover challenged the structure, attitudes, and positions of a major, but poorly functioning, industry. This clash of wills and purposes, although colorful in itself, had broader significance in the evolution of government-business relationships in the United States. Professor Hawley argues that it was an important milestone in the conceptual development of “cooperative individualism and competitive co-operation.”
