The obvious answer here, as @baseballcrank already pointed out, is Woodrow Wilson. So it's pretty amusing that Zack's "emerging consensus" is all marginal right-wing public intellectuals from the 1980s and onwards, suggesting both how partisan and historically ignorant they are.https://twitter.com/zackbeauchamp/status/1215320811437010946 …

Get back to me when Wilson’s name gets taken off bridges

Bridge, schmidge. There's a high school near where I grew up called Harding HS. You think Warren G's still a thought-influencer? How 'bout you check back in when the GOP finally figures out that *if* the Laffer Curve is real that we're on the wrong side of it?

I won't argue based on your definitions, but the question is about one specific person. Progressivism existed before Wilson. Laffer's stupid napkin-drawn brainwashed multiple generations on the Right that there are no tradeoffs to fiscal policy.
