Title: Progressive conservatism Content: Progressive conservatism is an ideology that tries to unite conservative and progressive ideas. To deal with poverty, the ideology supports the idea of a social safety net. It also supports a limited redistribution of wealth. The people supporting progressive conservatism want to allow the government to regulate markets in the interests of both consumers and producers.Patrick Dunleavy, Paul Joseph Kelly, Michael Moran.
