Will Someone Direct Me Some Books That Definitively States

[Montagnard]

The Progressive Philosophy?

I would like to know the philosophy that I think I support.

I support:

The working class and its struggle for fair and equal economic justice in the marketplace; is that progressive?

An egalitarian society based upon freedom from discrimination by sex, race, or economic status; is that progressive?

A just and accountable government selected by the people and operating for the people; is that progressive?

Social action to correct social depredation, is that progressive?

A combing of purpose and effort by all peoples toward achieving a better world for those who follow us; is that progressive?

These are among the things I believe a political philosophy should espouse. I am hoping someone will direct me towards those books which explain the Progressive Political Philosophy.

1. go to amazon and type social science into the search engine

Why do you need a book? You seem to know what you believe already.

4. My thoughts exactly. You have just written a fine start of your own

sensible, passionate progressive manifesto. Just get rid of the questions and let's start the revolution!

2. It's fiction but I think it does a good job of tying all the principles

together. Ecotopia by Ernest Callenbach. (sp?)

3. Go online to:

www.rockridgeinstitute.org

This is a progressive liberal think tank. I think you will gain understanding and even a good definition of the progressive philosophy.

Just a note: I am going to click on the link I provided to be sure it works. If it is ok I will not have to edit this. I posted the link from memory.

5. ThomHartmann.com is a good place to start. And all of his books

state the progressive philosophy. He will have a new book out soon-- "Screwed: The Undeclared War on the Middle Class" that should be great, mainly because it will be the most current.

9. Thank you for the information

I am checking all the sites provided.

6. It's better to find out here.

Post what you think, and any time someone accuses you of being a FReeper, then you know you've got something wrong and have to change it. That is the only way to maintain a pure progressive philosophy.

_{NOTE: This post is sarcastic.}

11. Been there, done that

what I am looking for now is those progressive issues that I am overlooking.
