[Abridged] Presidential Histories

28.B.) Woodrow Wilson's progressive legacy; an interview with John Milton Cooper


Listen Later

Woodrow Wilson is one of the most legislatively accomplished progressive presidents in American history.  His list of achievements ranges from the first progressive income tax to the creation of the Federal Reserve, an inheritance tax, a child labor law, and more. But a list doesn't do justice to the effort it took to get these laws passed or the impact they had on the Americans' lives.

Join me as I talk with John Milton Cooper, a professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and author of Pulitzer Prize-finalist Woodrow Wilson, a Biography, about the progressive legacy of Woodrow Wilson.
