Lincoln Steffens

    6 april 1866 – 9 augustus 1936

    Deze auteur verwierf bekendheid door zijn scherpe onderzoeksjournalistiek die overheids- en politieke corruptie aan het licht bracht. Hij begon zijn journalistieke carrière bij de New York Evening Post en werd later redacteur bij McClure's magazine, waar hij een vooraanstaand muckraker was. Zijn werk verkende vaak diepere maatschappelijke problemen, waarbij hij radicale verandering zag als een mogelijke oplossing. Later in zijn carrière ontwikkelde hij een interesse in revolutionaire transformaties, wat leidde tot zijn beroemde, zij het controversiële, observaties over de toekomst.
