The progressive movement in America EPUB

This book presents an attractive trip to the progressive movement in America, reviewing its origins, principles, prominent personalities and its most important achievements.

The progressive movement in the United States arose as a reaction to the great challenges faced by society during the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, which negatively affected workers and farmers.

As capitalism accelerated and the accumulation of economic influence in the hands of the few, an urgent social crisis arose, led leaders and progressive figures such as William Jinings Brian, andodore Roosevelt, Robert Lavlet, Woodro Wilson to move.

They went towards reforms that include compensation for workers, legislation to protect children, improve working conditions, combat monopoly, improve conditions in poor neighborhoods, and impose rising income taxes.

The book focuses on progressive belief in social justice and the need to achieve it through the role of the government.

In this book, Walter Nogint offers a comprehensive and brief overview of the progressive movement and its great contributions to improving the social and economic conditions in America.
