Abstract: "One Hundred Years Ago, the Progressives remade American government and community life for their own changing times - a moment that saw the birth of assembly line factories and one-size-fits-all products. In response, they built a government that was big, centralized, hierarchical, and bureaucratic. It is the twentieth century government we all know." "As the twenty-first century begins, America is changing again. Today, modern workplaces are geared toward empowering their employees with more personal decision-making power. Today, businesses are built on the idea of giving consumers a seemingly endless number of individual choices and personalized products."
