Populists and Progressives alerts readers to dramatic changes in
the ideological and political structure of America's Democratic and
Republican parties roiling Washington and shaping the 2020
presidential election. America now has four distinct contentious
political orientations: progressive, liberal, conservative and
populist. The least well understood are the progressives, whose
programs are often confused with socialism, and populists
stigmatized as reactionaries. Each has its own agenda and presses
programs that are incompatible with one another, auguring
protracted strife and paralysis. The book carefully elaborates the
substance of each movement and analyses the social, political and
economic forces driving them. It assesses their staying power and
prospects in the 2020 presidential election. The analysis reveals
that most contemporary American political commentary is intensely
partisan and relies on obsolete notions of Democrat and Republican
party doctrine and rivalry, obscuring the transformation of
American society, politics and economy. Populists and Progressives
assists readers to dispel the fog, allowing them to judge the
present danger and help in the search for consensus solutions.
