THE PROBLEM of the OLD MAN: MANHOOD, CLASS, and RETIREMENT in the UNITED STATES, 1910S-1950S THE PROBLEM OF THE OLD MAN: MANHOOD, CLASS, AND RETIREMENT IN THE UNITED STATES, 1910s-1950s by Gregory John Wood BS, Northern Michigan University, 1996 MA, Wayne State University, 1999 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2006 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Gregory John Wood It was defended on February 3, 2006 and approved by Lisa Brush, PhD, Sociology Maurine Greenwald, PhD, History Werner Troesken, PhD, History Dissertation Director: Richard Oestreicher, PhD, History ii Copyright © by Gregory John Wood 2006 iii THE PROBLEM OF THE OLD MAN: MANHOOD, CLASS, AND RETIREMENT IN THE UNITED STATES, 1910s-1950s Gregory John Wood, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2006 As the life cycle began to expand after 1900, "old age" became a new twentieth-century site where, like the nineteenth-century factory, working-class males struggled to define and sustain identities as "men." By studying "the problem of the old man," this dissertation revises historians' understandings of gender and class -- showing how gender, class, and aging have fundamentally intersected and, in the process, shaped the histories of work, the welfare state, and organized labor. The first three chapters explore how the rise of mass production catalyzed "the problem of the old man" during the 1910s and 1920s, and why state pensions emerged as the principal way to uphold manhood in later life. Chapter 1 examines how mass production employers emphasized youth and speed in the workplace, making "growing old" a major source of unease about manhood. Chapter 2 addresses why many experts in social provision concluded by 1929 that only pensions from the state could uphold the masculinity of the aging male breadwinner. Chapter 3 looks at how both the state and the workers tried to find ways to uphold the economic foundations of manhood during the Great Depression, ranging from Social Security to labor organizing. The final chapters examine the shifting class and gender politics that accompanied the rise of modern "retirement" during the 1940s and 1950s. Chapter 4 discusses how expanding job opportunities, increasing incomes, and suburbanization made middle-class status a key iv foundation of manhood after World War II. As a result, aging professionals displaced factory workers in "the problem of the old man" discourse. Chapter 5 examines the strategies older men used to affirm manhood after retirement. As in their "working years," retired men struggled to be youthful and "productive." Many retired men busied themselves with rigorous routines of sports, "tinkering," and yard work in order to demonstrate their manhood. During the postwar years, as the average length of life continued to expand, men embraced a contradictory definition of manhood that depended on males' ability to sustain economic success and youthful bodies -- even as their bodies aged and they faced the end of their careers due to retirement. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .......................................................................................................XI 1.0 INTRODUCTION: THE PROBLEM OF THE OLD MAN ................................... 1 1.1 GENDER, LABOR, AND MANHOOD............................................................. 6 1.2 HISTORIOGRAPHICAL CONTRIBUTIONS.............................................. 12 1.3 THE CHAPTERS .............................................................................................. 15 2.0 CHAPTER 1: MANHOOD, WORK, AND "GROWING OLD" DURING THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY.......................................................................................... 20 2.1 MANHOOD, YOUTH, AND INDUSTRIALIZATION................................. 22 2.2 MASS PRODUCTION WORK AND THE OLDER MAN........................... 33 2.3 EXPERTS AND THE AGE PROBLEM......................................................... 37 2.4 HIRING AGE LIMITS AND DISMISSALS .................................................. 43 3.0 CHAPTER 2: GENDER AND THE STATE PENSION IDEA DURING THE 1920S…… .................................................................................................................................... 71 3.1 ENVISIONING OLD AGE POVERTY .......................................................... 73 3.2 SAVINGS AND FAMILIES ............................................................................. 87 3.3 INDUSTRIAL PENSIONS ............................................................................... 93 3.4 THE POORHOUSE .......................................................................................... 99 3.5 PRIVATE OLD AGE HOMES ...................................................................... 106 3.6 THE STATE PENSION LAWS OF THE 1920S.......................................... 114 4.0 CHAPTER 3 : AGING MEN AND THE "CRISIS" OF MASCULINITY DURING THE 1930S................................................................................................................ 120 4.1 THE OLDER MAN AS "THE FORGOTTEN MAN"................................ 122 4.2 THE WELFARE STATE................................................................................ 135 4.3 CONSUMPTION AND HEALTH ADVICE ................................................ 144 vi 4.4 ORGANIZING................................................................................................. 154 5.0 CHAPTER 4 : GENDER, CLASS, AND RETIREMENT ANXIETIES, 1940S- 1950S…… .................................................................................................................................. 170 5.1 MANHOOD AND CLASS AFTER WORLD WAR II................................ 171 5.2 THREATS TO MANHOOD IN RETIREMENT......................................... 181 5.3 CORPORATE RETIREMENT PREPARATION ....................................... 195 5.4 SAYING GOODBYE: THE LAST DAYS OF WORK................................ 202 5.5 HANGING ON: RETIREMENT AVOIDANCE ......................................... 215 6.0 CHAPTER 5 : RECONSTRUCTING MANHOOD IN RETIREMENT, 1940S- 1950S…… .................................................................................................................................. 221 6.1 NEGOTIATING GENDER IN THE HOUSEHOLD .................................. 223 6.2 LEISURE ACTIVITIES ................................................................................. 248 6.3 SOCIAL CLUBS FOR THE RETIRED........................................................ 262 6.4 RETIREMENT RESISTANCE: EMPLOYMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP.................................................................................................. 272 7.0 CONCLUSION : THE PROBLEM OF SYLVESTER STALLONE ................. 280 APPENDIX A............................................................................................................................ 287 BIBLIOGRAPHY..................................................................................................................... 290 vii LIST OF TABLES Table 1.

In the process, I gained, like many of the individuals I discuss in the chapters that follow, more than just a few gray hairs. As I aged with this dissertation, I had the pleasure to work with many wonderful people. Many individuals shaped this project along the way: they read drafts of the text, pushed me to re-think and revise, sustained me with friendship and support, and helped me to earn funding that facilitated its completion. It is a pleasure to thank my fellow travelers along this exciting journey. My doctoral committee at the University

  • China's Smiling Face to the World: Beijing's English
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: CHINA’S SMILING FACE TO THE WORLD: BEIJING’S ENGLISH-LANGUAGE MAGAZINES IN THE FIRST DECADE OF THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC Leonard W. Lazarick, M.A. History Directed By: Professor James Z. Gao Department of History In the 1950s, the People’s Republic of China produced several English-language magazines to inform the outside world of the remarkable transformation of newly reunified China into a modern and communist state: People’s China, begun in January 1950; China Reconstructs, starting in January 1952; and in March 1958, Peking Review replaced People’s China. The magazines were produced by small staffs of Western- educated Chinese and a few experienced foreign journalists. The first two magazines in particular were designed to show the happy, smiling face of a new and better China to an audience of foreign sympathizers, journalists, academics and officials who had little other information about the country after most Western journalists and diplomats had been expelled. This thesis describes how the magazines were organized, discusses key staff members, and analyzes the significance of their coverage of social and cultural issues in the crucial early years of the People’s Republic.

  • In Political Economy the Revolution of 1935: the Secret History of Social Security
    Essays In Political Economy FROM THE LUDWIG VON MISES INSTITUTE The Revolution of 1935: The Secret History of Social Security By Gregory Bresiger1 Social Security was not just about the provision of publicly funded old-age pensions in the name of social insurance. It was designed as a tool of macroeconomic policy, a social arm of central planning passed in age of boundless faith in the power of the state. As such, the program was steeped in economic fallacy and became an integral part of the discredited Keynesian plan to turn stones into bread. Far from achieving its stated aims, it helped prolong the Great Depression and has contributed mightily to the decline of American liberty. 1 Gregory Bresiger is assistant manger editor of Traders Magazine and a business and financial writer/editor in Kew Gardens, New York.
