Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines Wisconsin Governor Robert "Fighting Bob" La Follette's political reform efforts in the early 1900s, and his influence on progressive politics. The author argues that La Follette's methods, including the use of primary elections, direct legislation, and judicial recall, were methods that had been used by other reform groups throughout history and had often led to the subversion of popular movements and the rise of autocracy. The author places the book's subject within the context of political movements past and present, and provides an in-depth exploration of La Follette's reform ideas and legacy. The book sheds light on the dangers of using certain methods to achieve political reform, while simultaneously arguing that the preservation of liberal democratic societies requires constant vigilance.
