	Economic progressivism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Economic progressivism is the name given to the economic views of progressives.
		Economic progressivism draws advocates from all segments of the moderate left-wing, including social democrats and some liberals.
		Brink Lindsey compares the advocated policies of economic progressivism to central planning, and see the labor laws and complications of income taxes which economic progressivism calls for as an infringement on economic freedom and in fact hurts, rather than improves social justice.

	Progressivism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As a broad characterization of political leanings, political progressivism mostly refers to the politics of social progressivism and economic progressivism.
		Progressivism may also mean preferring moderate change, as opposed to minimal or maximum change.
		Implicit in the word "progressivism" is the assumption that the policies advocated by progressives are a form of progress.

	What is Progressivism?
		Progressivism is a political movement that represents the interests of ordinary people in their roles as taxpayers, consumers, employees, citizens, and parents.
		By definition, economic elites enjoy greater wealth, and therefore influence, than the ordinary citizen, and they typically attempt to exploit these advantages politically, using them as leverage to obtain still greater wealth and influence.
		In general Progressivism stands most truly at the opposite pole from economic elitism, and has enjoyed its greatest support and successes precisely when the injustice, exploitation, arrogance, and greed of economic elites become intolerable — to both liberals and conservatives alike.

	J.A. Thompson, Progressivism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		For by far the fastest growing economic group in America at this time was ‘the new middle class’ of salaried employees—their numbers rose from 756,000 to 5,609,000 between 1870 and 1910.
		Economic regulation was naturally a prime concern, and they also promoted some types of municipal government reform and workmen’s compensation laws.
		However, if Progressivism was fostered by the confidence bred of prosperity, the emphasis placed by so many advocates of reform on the danger of class conflict or revolution if their pleas were not heeded suggests that it also rested on a basis of anxiety.

		Economic progressivism, however, has no real ideological construction and appears to be the result of an ‘informed’ acceptance of the market at work.
		The fact remains that economic progressivism tends to simplify matters for the sake of effective organisation, whereas social progressivism embraces complexity and limits the degree of generalisation to encompass individual and procedural concerns.
		This means that the twin ideals of social progressivism and economic progressivism are reflected upon separately, negotiated, and reconciled together to foster a ‘workable’ relationship through a compromised ‘common’ approach.

	Economic Religion Versus Christian Values (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Economics formerly observed what might be called "stopping points"–demarcations of subject areas where economic rationality was not considered to operate.
		At present, theories grounded in economically rational behavior may be able to explain, say, sixty percent of the variance in the dependent variable with respect to some aspect of human behavior, leaving forty percent to noneconomic factors like altruism.
		The ideal of a universal economic analysis may be part of the secular thinking of the twentieth century, assuming that one economic system will provide the single scientific understanding of all aspects of the world.

	LearnCalifornia.org - The Wane of Progressivism
		By 1916, the Progressive Party in California was effectively defunct, and most progressives politicians attempted to rejoin the Republicans, who were not enthusiastic about accepting the rebels back into the fold.
		The fall in political fortunes perhaps merely mirrored a decline in economic prosperity.
		Progressivism had been borne by a period of national prosperity, which had lowered levels of labor agitation and class conflict, mellowing the attitudes of both capital and labor and allowing them to agree on middle-of-the-road progressive measures.

	H-Net Review: Brett Flehinger on Progressivism and the New Democracy
		Eisenach argues that Progressivism was a "church invisible" that combined social science with the remnants of an older evangelical theology to produce a post-Protestant, secularized, and state-oriented reform stream (p.
		In her view the rights revolutions of the period, particularly the Civil Rights and Woman's Rights movements are direct legacies of Progressivism and the 1960s should not be understood as a second reconstruction or the rise of the second wave of feminism, but as the second and final stage of Progressive reform.
		Placing political change in economic context helps us understand that the centralizers and nationalizers who are the focus of this volume were not the winners or "true" Progressives (a futile debate), but the men and women whose political vision fit most closely with the dominant economic structure of the twentieth century.

	Lounsbury: Economic Progressivism: Left Things to Love in Islamic "Economics"
		Also, within all of these countries, the poor and less educated are more supportive of economic reforms than the rich and well educated.
		Indeed, if anything these networks support the economic liberals' observation that flexible, non-governmental private action (call it entreprenurial) is often far, far better than governmental action.
		Of course, there is a genuine issue of amount of resources to be leveraged, and in some instances when talking volume it seems clear to me that one has to accept governmental inefficiencies to get volume.

		Whatever the philosophical merits of relatively open immigration, which can be debated, if current immigration tends to exacerbate trends likely to increase the role of government and swell the ranks of those who would vote for more government, it is difficult to see how opposing reform truly limits government or expands freedom.
