Biography
Charles Austin Beard was born in Indiana, studied at several universities in the United States and Great Britain. In 1904-1917 he taught at Columbia University, since 1933 - President of the American Historical Association.
In the 1920s and 1930s, he adhered to an anti-scientist trend in American political science, declaring that political science cannot exist without values and that it is necessary to develop a creative spirit in one’s own knowledge. In his early works, he tried to analyze the history of the USA of the 18th-19th centuries from the point of view of economic analysis and believed that all its most important events are explained by the opposition of industry and agriculture, the struggle of bourgeois groups and farming. In the 1930s, he supported the “new course” policy of President Franklin Roosevelt and somewhat changed his views, expressing the idea that it is impossible to fully understand the laws of historical development. In later works written in the 1940s, he departed from Roosevelt's support and criticized his policy, primarily foreign, from the standpoint of isolationism, but at the very end of his life he also condemned Truman's foreign policy, considering it expansionary.
He was married to Mary Ritter Bird , together with her, wrote a number of works.
