Daniel Patrick Moynihan

politician United States

Daniel Patrick Moynihan was a prominent American politician, sociologist, and author who served as a U.S. Senator from New York for four terms from 1977 to 2001. Known for his keen intellect and often controversial views, Moynihan was a key figure in discussions about social policy and urban development, famously coining the term 'defining deviancy down.' He was a strong advocate for government intervention in social issues but also warned against the pitfalls of bureaucratic stagnation, as highlighted in his observations about infrastructure projects in the 1970s. His legacy includes a focus on the importance of constructing rather than obstructing social and physical infrastructures.
