Walling offers a bold vision for the future of American society in this call to action for progressive reform. He argues that it is not enough to simply identify and address social ills; we must fundamentally rethink and restructure our economic and political systems in order to achieve lasting change. Drawing on examples from history and contemporary society, Walling presents a compelling argument for why progressivism is essential for a thriving democracy.
