For centuries, human perfection has been a powerful goal, but only in the twentieth century were national states able to achieve the capacity to impose radical change on entire societies in the name of rooting out imperfections.

The contributions to this volume constitute an ambitious attempt to study a number of significant efforts by twentieth-century states to reshape--either through social policy or brute force--their societies and their populations according to ideologies based on various theories of human perfectibility.
