Good Hope
A Story o/American Progressives
By DANIEL AARON
In this timely revaluation of the progressive
.~.
idea in America, the author analyzes the social
philosophy of such nineteenth-century reformers as Theodore Parker,
Henry George, Edward Bellamy, William Dean Howells and Thorstein
Veblen and evaluates the part each played in the development of the
progressive movement. He then demonstrates the difference in attitude,
and consequently, in action, between these "men of good hope" and
the latter-day exponents of an opportunistic progressivism-from Brooks
Adams, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson through Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
Mr. Aaron's implied thesis is that an effective liberalism can be achieved
by combining the techniques and practical approach to politics of the
pragmatic progressives with the utopian vision of the old reformers.
