Summary

If social psychology in the twentieth century has revealed anything stunning about human nature it is this: that individuals are created and shaped by material and social forces more than they or their observers recognize. I see my life as a textbook case of the responsiveness of bystanders who eased the path for my growth. I wrote words to this effect in the mid-1990s in an application to the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation. Notwithstanding the influence of those individuals who shaped my development (their influence even more burnished by the added twenty-five years), I neglected to mention the influences that are the hidden levers afforded by collectives – communities, institutions, governments – to regulate, both up and down, life’s opportunities and outcomes. I try to rectify that lapse here.
