I found this to be a fascinating interpretation of cultural and political change during the Progressive era. It highlights the differences between the positions of political parties in the past and in the present, and illuminates the sources of tension within the parties at present. I've long thought of the public school movement and the birth control movement as means of political control, but until I read this I never thought that Prohibition and the suffragists were similar mechanisms.

Thoughts, comments, corrections?

I think you'll find this to be an interesting article.

Romulus, does Rothbard's understanding of pietism differ significantly from your own?
