Kaye’s work serves as a crucial reminder of the progressive potential embedded in American history. In his book, *The Four Freedoms: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Evolution of an American Idea,* Kaye revisits FDR’s 1941 State of the Union address, where Roosevelt articulated the Four Freedoms—freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. These principles were not merely rhetorical; they laid the groundwork for the New Deal and shaped the social contract between the American government and its citizens. Now, in collaboration with the Letterhack, Kaye has reimagined this legacy through the comic *The Economic Bill of Rights,* a modern-day call to action that seeks to rekindle the radical spirit of the New Deal era. This vision of economic justice and social democracy is not just a relic of the past but a roadmap for the future—a future where, as Kaye asserts, "the American people might rise up and demand a government that truly represents them." Today, we delve into Kaye's argument for why these freedoms are more relevant than ever and discuss how the Left can leverage this historical framework to advance a progressive agenda in the 21st century.
