This book examines the rise and fall of a handful of progressive and leftist third party efforts over the last century, from the 1920s to the present, including the Progressive Party of 1924, the Labor Party Movement of the 1930s, The Progressive Party of 1948, The People's Party of the 1970s, the California Peace and Freedom Party, and the Vermont Progressive Party. It also explores the enduring features of the American political system, including why the two-party system has continued to dominate American politics and elucidates the ideology of Lockian republican-populism, the foundational ideology of American politics.
