Geoffrey Hodgson
The Gentleman from New York
[Daniel Patrick Moynihan]
New York: Houghton Mifflin, 2000, p. 124


...It was not a coincidence that virtually all of The Public Interest editors and the writers they published were social scientists trained in one discipline or another. They had all watched social science being used and, as most of them thought, misused, as a guide to public policy and government action. They shared a skepticism about the belief, which was a cornerstone of interventionist liberal thinking, that once social scientists identified a problem, it was the function of government to devise, fund and staff programs to deal with it, and the problem would disappear. [c. 1965]
