Progressivism: The Path to Social Perfection

By Randall Lloyd

Progressivism: The Path to Social Perfection details the origins of late nineteenth century Progressivism. The tenets of early Progressive philosophy are far removed from ideas conveyed by the term today. While current Progressives seek ideological and political tolerance and maximum individual liberty, Progressivism in its origins was rigid, intolerant of different opinions and lifestyles, and sought ultimate individual private and public regulation and control. Progressive intolerance was necessary to the political design of a perfected society intended to end immorality, poverty, and war. That design was premised on the discovery of social scientific laws of nature that coercive governments could use to manipulate individuals and society. Progressivism: The Path to Social Perfection identifies the philosophy that blazed the path for twentieth century politics.
