The World's Work was a monthly magazine published by Doubleday, Page & Company from 1900 to 1932, founded by Walter Hines Page. It focused on national affairs with a strong pro-business stance, celebrating American industrial progress and advocating for big business while opposing labor unions and socialism. Initially printed with 35,000 copies, it quickly reached a circulation of 100,000 and featured photo essays, some with color images after 1916. The magazine was popular among middle-class professionals and business readers, offering insights into political and industrial developments, particularly during World War I. It ceased publication in 1932 when it merged with The Review of Reviews.
