Resolving the Contradiction of "Progressivism"
(Steven Hayward) Historians and political theorists have long puzzled over how to resolve the glaring contradiction of Progressive ideology—namely, that Progressive "reform" emphasizes greater "democracy," and championed innovations like the direct election of Senators, the initiative and referendum, etc. Give the people what they want!
