內容簡介: |
First published in 2004, Congress, Progressive Reform and the
New American State uses a series of case-studies of reform
legislation in Congress during the early twentieth century to
explore the nature of progressivism and the processes of political
change which resulted in the establishment of the modern American
state. Among the topics covered are railroad regulation, labor
relations, social policy of the District of Columbia, Republican
insurgency, and the nature of Democratic progressivism. This work
will be of interest to students of twentieth-century political
history, the history of Congress, and the origins of the modern
American state.
