HIS 289 - Special Topics. Progressivism (3 Cr.)
This course explores the history of the period from 1910 to 1930. The hypothesis is that Progressive Era before World War I represents the idealistic side of American politics when politicians of both parties wanted the government to help resolve the problems of economic change. In sharp contrast during the next decade a boom made economic problems recede and the American political class and the public were focused on money-making, alcohol, and sexual experimentation. The question is whether this is a real dichotomy and whether it is one from which lessons can be drawn. Spring semester. Offered 2011-12. London.
