Years after the publication of his socialist novel the jungle, upton sinclair ironically noted the chiefly progressive impact of his book, stating that he "had taken aim at america's heart and hit instead its stomach." compare & contrast the two, major, early-20th-century reform-minded ideologies of progressivism and socialism.

Talking about the socialism the economic system, where the government runs and controls the production resources, was owned by the society to achieve a common good.

If we talk about the Progressivism part, the political philosophy that raise the standard of living of the members of society was to achieve a positive social change.

Comparison:

Both have the perspective that economic and political equality but they differ in their views and approaches.

The Socialists wanted to abolish capitalism and took advantage of working class.

The Progressives want to employ capitalism to benefit the masses and wanted a regulated business environment.

Hope this helps.
