Description:Excerpt from Progressivism and After In writing about the relations between Progressive, Labor, and Socialist parties, I believe I have given fully as much space to pointing out the very great services they are destined to render as in showing their limitations. But these movements are exceedingly popular. The public is accustomed to hear their claims expressed with every degree of eloquence, while the only criticism that is ordinarily heard is the entirely negative and destructive one of the reactionaries and conservatives, who at the bottom are satisfied with things as they are, or, at most, are content with a very modest rate of progress, and would have wished to kill the new movements before they were born. There has been little or nothing of that constructive criticism which considers such movements as natural products of social evolution with certain definite functions to fill, acknowledges that they have a future neither entirely bad nor entirely good, and shows that they also have certain limitations - like everything else. Since these limitations are so little discussed, and since the public is more or less familiar with much of what I have to say in praise of these movements, it is probable that the spirit of criticism will, at first, impress many readers as dominating this book. I have tried throughout every chapter to avoid giving any ground for such an impression and believe that if the book nevertheless has this effect on some persons, it will be due to previous reading of uncritical works rather than to any fault of mine.
