# The Creative Society & the Price Americans Paid for It

Educated professionals have been responsible for shaping much of America's history, according to scholar Louis Galambos. Since the turn of the 20th century, teachers, scientists, doctors, administrators, lawyers and business managers, among others have been at the forefront of innovation and have provided solutions to many of the nation's challenges. Our forefathers from all walks of life make up this creative class who sought education to improve their lives and in the process, made advances for American society. In his book "The Creative Society and the Price Americans Paid for It," Louis Galambos asserts that entrepreneurial thinkers have always been the staple of American progress.
