Autorenporträt
Herbert David Croly (1869-1930) was an American political thinker, journalist and author, best known for his influential contributions to political theory and progressive thought. Born on January 9, 1869, in New York City, Croly was educated at Harvard University, where he developed his ideas about politics and society. Croly's most notable work, The Promise of American Life (1909), is a seminal text that articulates his vision of American progressivism. In this book, he argues for a reformed approach to governance and public policy, advocating for the Progressive movement's goals of economic reform and social justice. Croly's analysis highlights the need for a more active role of government in regulating economic and social life to ensure broader prosperity and equality. Croly's ideas were influential in shaping American political discourse in the early 20th century, particularly in advocating for a balanced and proactive role of government in addressing social and economic issues. His work laid important groundwork for later developments in American progressive politics. Herbert David Croly passed away on September 17, 1930, but his contributions to political theory and progressive thought continue to be recognized and studied for their impact on American political and social reform.
