About Walter Weyl
- Walter Edward Weyl (March 11, 1873 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – November 9, 1919 in Woodstock, New York) was a writer and speaker, an intellectual leader of the Progressive movement in the United States.
- As a strong nationalist, his goal was to remedy the relatively weak American national institutions with a strong state.
- Weyl wrote widely on issues of economics, labor, public policy, and international affairs in numerous books, articles, and editorials; he was a coeditor of the highly influential The New Republic magazine, 1914–1916.
- His most influential book, The New Democracy (1912) was a classic statement of democratic meliorism, revealing his path to a future of progress and modernization based on middle class values, aspirations and brain work.
- It articulated the general mood: "America to-day is in a somber, soul-questioning mood.
- We are in a period of clamor, of bewilderment, of an almost tremulous unrest.
- We are hastily revising all our social conceptions....
- We are profoundly disenchanted with the fruits of a century of independence."
