Lincoln Steffens

    6 aprile 1866 – 9 agosto 1936

    Questo autore divenne noto per la sua acuta attività giornalistica investigativa che svelò la corruzione governativa e politica. Iniziò la sua carriera giornalistica al New York Evening Post e in seguito divenne redattore della rivista McClure's, dove fu un prominente muckraker. Il suo lavoro esplorò spesso questioni sociali profonde, vedendo il cambiamento radicale come una possibile soluzione. Più tardi nella sua carriera, sviluppò un interesse per le trasformazioni rivoluzionarie, che portarono alle sue famose, sebbene controverse, osservazioni sul futuro.
