Progressivism, socialism, and the role of the state

Progressivism and socialism both found foothold in the late nineteenth century with promises to transform the economy and society via an activist state. In this paper, I contextualise Wisconsin progressive economic thought via their work on, and in reaction to, local socialist presentations of the state as an agent of progress. Of particular interest are the Milwaukee socialist and Wisconsin progressive positions on scientific state administration and expertise and the extent of state orchestrated redistribution and state ownership of productive resources
