Progressives
Progressivism was partly a reaction
against laissez-faire economics and its emphasis on an unregulated market.
Progressives generally believed that industrialization and urbanization had
created many social problems. After seeing the poverty of the working class and
the filth and crime of urban society, reformers began doubting the free
market’s ability to address those problems. Progressivism was a collection of
different ideas and activities.
