Abstract
Progressivism in the United States was more than any mere reform movement or revolution directed against an existent system; it was more nearly a national state of mind-- ''a broader impulse "1--which was both critical and reformist. Technically, there was no such thing as a Progressive movement, for there was no organized campaign uniting all the manifold efforts at political, social and economic reform. 2 However, the broader concept given above had many significant and fruitful manifestations during the early part of the twentieth century, and these may justifiably be called "Progressivism" or "the Progressive movement." Progressivism was complex and far-reaching. It aimed to restrict individualism by antitrust laws. It sought income and inheritance taxes and it favored workmen's compensation and unemployment laws, all with an eye to the conservation of the values of democracy.
