Institutions such as The New School for Social Research, International Institute of Social History, and departments of "social research" at prestigious universities were meant to fill the growing demand for individuals who could quantify human interactions and produce models for decision making on this basis.
Institucije kao što su The New School for Social Research, International Institute of Social History, te odsjeci za "društveno istraživanje" na prestižnim sveučilištima osnovani su radi ispunjavanja rastuće potražnje za pojedincima koji bi mogli kvantificirati ljudske interakcije i proizvesti modele za odlučivanje na toj osnovi.
