Thank you so much, Diamond, for your kind words, and for shining a spotlight on The Progressive Worldview. As you emphasize in your review, I believe being a progressive involves far more than just voting for certain candidates or taking particular political stances. It comes down to how you see the see the world--to believing the world can and does get better over time, thus implying we should do everything in our power to help make this happen. I'd invite everyone to come check out The Progressive Worldview Blog or find The Progressive Worldview, Volume I: The History of Progress available for purchase at www.theprogressiveworldview.com. Thank you again, Diamond!

Thank you, Michael, for this very interesting and important article. I suppose there is a difference between “progressive” and “Progressive”. Interestingly, a few years ago I read an article, I think in The Atlantic, about the difference between a Liberal and a Progressive. The main difference, according to the article, is that the Liberal is willing to compromise and the Progressive is not. Obviously this is a generalization but I think it is a sensible distinction.
