CLASS #457: Woodrow Wilson Explains Why We Need Dictatorship


Listen Later

In today's class, we finish our study of the early Progressives. We conclude with a look at the first section of Wilson's work, "The Study of Administration." The Progressives consider this his best work, liberty-lovers will see it as his clearest defense of despotism. We hope you'll join us as we read his words and explain what they actually mean.

We are working from Ronald J. Pestritto's book, "American Progressivism:"
