This transformation is due to a radical new philosophy of government imported by the Progressives of the late nineteenth century, which led to concrete changes in American political institutions. This book explores these changes, both in principles and in the nuts and bolts of governing, and shows how progressivism was often at the root of critical developments subsequent to the Progressive Era. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 296 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 June 2021\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Encounter Books,USA\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe modern administrative state of America bears little resemblance to the nation envisioned by the founders of the Constitution. This profound shift has emerged not solely from the natural progression of historical events and societal development, but also as a result of a revolutionary new philosophy of governance that was introduced into the American political landscape by the Progressive movement of the late 19th century. The advent of this novel perspective on government principles, coupled with a vehement rejection of the American Constitution, sparked a series of tangible transformations within American political institutions. While these original Progressive innovations may often go unnoticed due to their deep integration into American political culture, this book aims to unveil their essence. It explores the nature of these changes, both in terms of principles and the practical aspects of governance. Furthermore, it demonstrates how progressivism played a pivotal role in shaping significant developments in American political history subsequent to the Progressive Era, distinguishing it from other movements such as the New Deal, the liberalism of the 1960s, and contemporary liberalism. However, it is important to note that these subsequent advancements would not have been possible without the foundational work of the original Progressives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 574g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 159 x 238 x 30 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781641771689                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ronald J.
