Lincoln Steffens

    6 avril 1866 – 9 août 1936

    Cet auteur s'est fait connaître pour son reportage d'investigation incisif qui a révélé la corruption gouvernementale et politique. Il a commencé sa carrière journalistique au New York Evening Post et est devenu plus tard rédacteur en chef du magazine McClure's, où il était un muckraker de premier plan. Son travail a souvent exploré des problèmes sociétaux profonds, considérant le changement radical comme une solution possible. Plus tard dans sa carrière, il a développé un intérêt pour les transformations révolutionnaires, ce qui l'a conduit à ses célèbres, bien que controversées, observations sur l'avenir.
