Great article. Those who don’t know the history of Progressivism put our country at great risk.
While there are several things I take issue with in the article, overall, it’s a great summary.
Arguably the biggest thing Wilson should be known for is his role in introducing America in general and America’s progressives in particular to the concept of centralized planning. Most people believe progressives learned of planning from the USSR. They didn’t.
I’m working on addressing that.
UN Agenda 21 / Great Reset . ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
“Arguably the biggest thing Wilson should be known for is his role in introducing America in general and America’s progressives in particular to the concept of centralized planning.”
i.e. “Phillip Dru: Administrator” by Edward House ;
Wasn’t Teddy Roosevelt also a progressive?
I’d credit Teddy Roosevelt w/ foisting “central planning” on the nation in a practical way. TR pushed the malicious idea that apolitical “experts” could solve any sort of problem, thus the plethora of “commissions” he sponsored and promoted.
Wilson federalized it.
