Description:
What does it truly mean to be progressive?
On Being Progressive is an illuminating guide for anyone seeking to understand the philosophical foundations, historical context, and real-world implications of progressive thought. With clarity and conviction, author Rick Rossi unpacks the core values of progressivism-economic justice, social equality, environmental sustainability, and human rights-and contrasts them with conservative principles to highlight their differences in vision, policy, and psychology.
This comprehensive book explores over 30 topics including wealth inequality, social contract theory, universal basic income, and the LGBTQ+ movement, offering readers a deeply informed and accessible roadmap through today's political and social debates.
Whether you're a committed progressive, an open-minded conservative, or simply curious about modern political ideologies, On Being Progressive invites you to engage critically, empathetically, and courageously with the ideas that shape our world.
