    REFLECTIONS ON AMERICAN PROGRESSIVISM
    MELVYN L. FEIN / SIDNEY A. PEARSON

    EVOLUTION VERSUS REVOLUTION

He proposes an integrated model of social evolution, one that accounts for the complexity, inconclusiveness, and impediments that characterize social transformations.This multi-dimensional approach recognizes that change is always saturated in conflict. Major cha...
