This is an accessible book that delineates how progressives and the
progressive movement have created the American idea and ideals and
forged the kind of country in which we want to live. It creates a
platform from which to argue how progressives today are fighting to
improve America, in contrast to how conservatives have always
worked to defend the interests of elites.
Each chapter will tell the reader a story focusing on different
subjects, such as efforts to enact civil rights laws, social
security, the middle class, how the idea of America changed the
world, and why most of us can vote.
Lux points out what he feels the Democrats have done wrong during
the last decades and how the lessons of history can point to making
positives changes. Lux shows how the progressives have been
instrumental in creating big positive change moments, and argues
that as a new administration takes office in 2009 the time will be
ripe for a new big change moment, . He outlines how he believes
progressive policies can be channeled to solves the big problems
facing us today. .
