Summary
This book discusses the roots of progressivism in the European Enlightenment and follows its history through the splitting of the U.S. Republican Party in the early 1900s to the re-emergence of progressive policies as a reaction to the Trump administration, explores progressivism as a response to rapid modernization and unchecked capitalism, and explains how progressive economic and social policies affect the national economy and challenge established American values.
