The Legacy of Progressive Thought: Decline, Not Death, by a Thousand Cuts
Files
Description
This chapter sums up the causes of the American Illness and argues that the chief source of this problem lies in the expansion of direct regulation through the administrative state at the national, state, and local levels. It reviews the key features of the progressive mindset; the progressive policies that led to unwise increased taxation; free trade in the international arena; affliction of permititis at the federal and state levels; recent developments of the Obama health care legislation; and employment relations in public and private sectors.
