A. Schutz

Social Class, Social Action, and Education

The Failure of Progressive Democracy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Schutz demonstrates that progressive ideas of democracy emerged out of the practices of a new middle class, reacting, in part, against the more conflictive social struggles of the working-class. The volume traces two distinct branches of democratic progressivism: collaborative and personalist.
