- We started the Progressive Reform Era (1890-1920). Lots of corruption. The progressives were focusing on helping the middle class people.
GOALS of PROGRESSIVISM
1. protecting social welfare (helping the poor)
2. promoting moral improvement (push toward getting rid of alcohol)
3. creating economic reform (capitalism (people own businesses) and socialism (government owns business) socialism is like communism which was created by Karl Marx) combination of socialism and capitalism is mixed economy
4. fostering efficiency (ford idea- pay workers more, so workers want and stay on the job, and so they work harder and more efficiently. Also expands the market, so people make more and they can by the product)
