Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the evolution of American progressivism, the book examines the resurgence of progressive candidates like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. It contrasts contemporary progressives with the original movement of the early 20th century and other significant movements, such as the Popular Front. While acknowledging differences, it highlights shared traits like a commitment to liberal reform, state intervention, and reliance on electoral strategies. Ultimately, it argues that significant changes in the American political economy are unlikely, despite varying political sentiments.
