Synopsis

Explore how capitalism evolves toward state socialism and what that could mean for society, work, and power.

Progressivism and After examines how political and economic change moves from competitive capitalism to state-led systems. It discusses the roles of skilled workers, professionals, and small capitalists, and how democracy and industry influence the path of reform. The book analyzes long-term trends, the potential for gradual change, and what such shifts could mean for everyday life.

  • How state involvement in industry grows and reshapes property and power
  • Which social groups gain influence as reforms advance
  • How wage-earners, professionals, and small capitalists fit into a changing system
  • Why democracy and economics interact in ways that can transform society without sudden upheaval
Ideal for readers of economic and political history who want a clear, measured look at early 20th‑century ideas about progress, reform, and the fate of capitalism.
