PROGRESSIVES IN AMERICA 1900-2020

Více o knize

The book examines three distinct progressive movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries: the early Progressives of the 1900s, the Popular Front of the 1930s and 1940s, and contemporary progressives within the Democratic Party, including figures like Jesse Jackson and Bernie Sanders. It argues that despite their rhetoric, these movements have remained within the constraints of liberal reform, ultimately achieving limited outcomes. The analysis highlights the challenges faced by progressives in effecting substantial change.
