More about the book

Focusing on the evolution of American progressivism, this book examines the resurgence of progressive candidates like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. It compares contemporary progressives with the early 20th-century movement and other significant movements, highlighting shared themes such as a commitment to liberal reformism and reliance on state action and electoral change. The analysis suggests that despite aspirations from the Left and challenges from the Right, progressives may struggle to enact fundamental changes in the American political landscape.
