'''Walter Weyl''' was an intellectual leader during the [[Progressive Era]], and a founder<ref>[http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2014/12/the_new_republic_s_demise_the_magazine_s_heterodox_liberalism_is_what_made.html What We Lost With the Loss of the New Republic]</ref> of [[The New Republic]] magazine. [[Walter Lippmann]] wrote of Weyl that "He was by far the best trained economist in the progressive movement. He was the only active Bull Moose I ever knew who thought the Progressive program could be justified by statistics of the social facts as well as by moral denunciation."<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=Dlv-mqAYj_UC&pg=PA99 Public Persons], by Walter Lippmann</ref>
