About the Book

In the first book-length study of Progressive-Era presidents' views on the theme of self-government, The Dilemma of Progressivism critically analyzes their understanding of executive leadership and the office of the presidency. Will Morrisey examines both the rhetoric and the actions of Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson to show the ways in which their thought shaped their presidencies. He shows how the Progressive presidents dealt with the genesis of a modern, centralized American state and the conflicting increase in popularity of the notion of self-government.

Drawing larger conclusions about the key American ideas of self-government, federalism, freedom, and social welfare, Morrisey strikes the right balance between political theory and history in this study on self-government and the political thought of three American presidents.

Review :
Will Morrisey is one of the most penetrating students of statesmanship and political philosophy writing today. This learned and wise book continues his exploration of the meaning—and fate—of self-government in the American political tradition and in the western democratic world as whole. It shows exactly what is at stake in the contemporary displacement of natural rights by an amorphous 'historical consciousness' as well as the difficulty of sustaining self-government in a world dominated bureaucratic statism. Well-written volume....Recommended. Consumers of high political philosophy will find this book stimulating. In this philosophically informed study of the political thought of Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson, Will Morrisey provides a fair-minded critique of the challenge to American anti-statist constitutionalism posed by progressive reformers and intellectuals in the early twentieth century. Morrisey's lucid and penetrating account elevates the study of the origins of the modern liberal state to a new level of historical insight and understanding.
