The Progressive Era

Rothbard's posthumous work serves as a comprehensive examination of the Progressive Era, highlighting its profound impact on the modern relationship between the state and the economy. This crucial period is depicted as the origin of institutionalized racism, disenfranchisement of African Americans, restrictive immigration policies, and the alignment of large government, businesses, and unions. The book argues that the Progressive Era played a pivotal role in shaping the contemporary American political and economic landscape.
