Beskrivning
Who were the Progressive reformers arguing with? The answer might surprise you. Drawing together a veritable powerhouse of scholars from across the political spectrum, In Defense of the Founders Republic examines the historical roots of these critics as well as their potential contribution to current debates about government and role of politics and institutions in our constitutional republic. Profiles and debates across a variety of progressive-era dissenters including politicians, community activists, political scientists, and socialists create a more complete picture of the national conversation, and the development of this monumental American political era. With clear contemporary relevance, In Defense of the Founders Republic is required reading for anyone interested in the complete progressive debate.

Recensioner i media

Progressivism’s critics included some of the most experienced and brilliant American leaders of their day. In this sterling collection, first-rate scholars bring their perspectives to life and explore the roots, meaning and impact of their ideas. Like or hate these critics, understanding them greatly enriches our knowledge of one of the great reform periods in American history—and gives us more insight into American politics today.
