William Graham Sumner
Encyclopedia Article
William Graham Sumner (1840-1910), American sociologist and teacher, born in Paterson, New Jersey. Like British philosopher Herbert Spencer, a proponent of social Darwinism, Sumner opposed any governmental interference in the free-market economy, whether in the form of tariffs to help businesses or antitrust laws to restrain them. Sumner was an influential writer and professor at Yale University from 1872 to 1909. Among his major works are Folkways (1906) and Science and Society (1927-1928), which was published after his death.
