"The Boss and the Machine" is a revealing work authored by Samuel Peter Orth. The book delves into the intricate dynamics of urban politics and power struggles in America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Orth meticulously dissects the rise of political machines, notably focusing on the iconic figure of Thomas C. Platt, a mastermind behind New York's Republican political machinery. Orth's narrative provides a comprehensive exploration of the symbiotic relationship between political bosses and their intricate machines. He chronicles how these machines wielded control over patronage, graft, and influence, shaping the social and economic fabric of cities. Through insightful analysis, Orth exposes the inner workings of this system and its far-reaching impacts on policy, elections, and civic life. The book's historical depth and incisive commentary shed light on the complex interplay between political power and the aspirations of urban communities. Orth's research offers a critical examination of the motivations and consequences that underscored the operations of political machines, adding layers to our understanding of American political history.

Orth's investigation goes beyond data, diving into real experiences that bring historical trends to life.

The book is a monument to Orth's commitment to historical awareness and his vital contribution to the debate on the impact of immigration on American identity.

Long before men awoke to the vision of America, the Old World was the scene of many stupendous migrations. One after another, the Goths, the Huns, the Saracens, the Turks, and the Tatars, by the sheer tidal force of their numbers threatened to engulf the ancient and medieval civilization of Europe. But neither in the motives prompting them nor in the effect they produced, nor yet in the magnitude of their numbers, will such migrations bear comparison with the great exodus of European peoples which in the course of three centuries has made the United States of America.

The answer to this question will bring us nearer to the core of the social movement than any attempted definition. The French Socialist program begins with the assertion, "Socialism is a question of class." Class distinction is the generator of Socialism. The ordinary social triptych-upper, middle, and lower classes-will not suffice us in our inquiry. We must distinguish between the functions of the classes. The upper class is a remnant of the feudal days, of the manorial times, when land-holding brought with it social distinction and political prerogative. In this sense we have no upper class in America. The middle class is composed of the business and professional element, and the lower class of the wage-earning element.

Three momentous things symbolize the era that begins its cycle with the memorable year of 1776: the Declaration of Independence, the steam engine, and Adam Smith's book, "The Wealth of Nations." The Declaration gave birth to a new nation, whose millions of acres of free land were to shift the economic equilibrium of the world; the engine multiplied man's productivity a thousandfold and uprooted in a generation the customs of centuries; the book gave to statesmen a new view of economic affairs and profoundly influenced the course of international trade relations.
