Richard T. Ely was one of the most influential figures of the Progressive Era. As a political economist and social gospel advocate during a crucial turning point in American history, Ely helped to alter the political and economic direction of the country away from limited government and laissez-faire capitalism and toward a more powerful, regulatory, and redistributionist government. Bradizza's compelling volume engages with Ely's perceptions of the principles of the American Founding, the New Deal, and offers contemporary consequences of progressivism.
