What Is Progressive?
Andrew Garib
Description:
This short paper distinguishes betwee liberalism, conservatism, and progressivism. It describes progressivism as an approach that is pragmatic and flexible, accepting the world as ever-changing and dynamic, and generally averse to simple answers. Progressivism means choosing the best course of action in line with American values of fairness, human well-being, opportunity, and personal and moral responsibility.
