This “brilliantly written” look at the original meaning of the liberal philosophy has become a classic of political science (American Historical Review). Winner of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award As the word “liberal” has been misused and its meaning diluted in recent decades, this study of American political thought since the Revolution is a valuable look at the “liberal tradition” that has been central to US history. Louis Hartz, who taught government at Harvard, shows how individual liberty, equality, and capitalism have been the values at the root of liberalism—and offers enlightening historical context that reminds us of America’s unique place and important role in the world. “Lively and thought-provoking . . . Fascinating reading.” —The Review of Politics Includes an introduction by Tom Wicker

In The Collapse of Liberalism, noted political scientist Charles Noble takes liberalism to task for not being radical enough for what he sees as a long history of how liberalism has accommodated the very economic institutions and corporate actors it has wanted to challenge. As a result, Noble argues, liberals have been unable or unwilling to confront directly class, race, gender, inequality, and corporate power. Clear, engaging, and thought-provoking, The Collapse of Liberalism is a politically engaged interrogation of the way American liberals think about social problems and build political coalitions."

In Europe after World War II, U.S. economic aid helped to ensure economic revival, political stability, and democracy. In the Third World, however, aid has been associated with very different tendencies: uneven political development, violence, political instability, and authoritarian rule in most countries. Despite these differing patterns of political change in Europe and the Third World, however, American conceptions of political development have remained largely constant: democracy, stability, anti-communism. Why did the objectives and theories of U.S. aid officials and social scientists remain largely the same in the face of such negative results and despite the seeming inappropriateness of their ideas in the Third World context? Robert Packenham believes that the thinking of both officials and social scientists was profoundly influenced by the "Liberal Tradition" and its view of the American historical experience. Thus, he finds that U.S. opposition to revolution in the Third World steins not only from perceptions of security needs but also from the very conceptions of development that arc held by Americans. American pessimism about the consequences of revolution is intimately related to American optimism about the political effects of economic growth. In his final chapter the author offers some suggestions for a future policy. Originally published in 1973.

This is a journey through the mind of the American Progressive, Leftist, Lefty, Lib, Liberal through a cartoon pictorial of his and her deeds, statements, proclamations and actions. This is strictly the politics and social stands of Liberals in the United States presented using their own words and deeds. We travel through the world of American Liberals peering in on their social fabric. They love gatherings. They love proclamations and marches. They use Facebook, Email, Text Messaging and Twitter until the power grids collapse, allowing their getting together in vast crowds and shouting about whatever bothers them at the time. Of course, no look at Liberal life can be complete without two erudite Conservatives nestled comfortably in the lower corner of the frame commenting on the events unfolding in the cartoon. Their poignant and sometimes hard-nosed observations add the punch this book needs. Though this book shines a light on the political and social attitudes of liberals, rather than throwing accusations and attacks the purpose is to give liberals a mirror to reflect who they are in order for them to take action for their own benefit. This book also gives conservatives a properly focused view of liberals, away from the caustic attacks that normally typifies the public positions conservatives often take. But no doubt there is much in this book for the Conservative to relish and love. The "Guide to the American Liberal" is a one-of-a-kind approach and is spiked heavily with humor. This is a book that should have a place on the living room coffee table of anyone interested in politics in America - whether you are a Liberal or a Conservative.

To hear liberals tell it, they are the most competent and compassionate people in America. They are constantly "fighting" to end poverty, provide universal health care, stop gun violence, and save the planet. Yet despite all of this effort, liberals never seem to solve anything. Meanwhile, government keeps growing, freedom keeps shrinking, and the liberal elites keep getting rich off of the American taxpayer. How can this be? In A Conservative's Guide to American Liberalism: 30 Truths About American Liberals and Their Agenda, attorney and writer Gregg J. Cavanagh destroys the myth that liberalism is designed to benefit society as a whole, and instead exposes it for the parasitical and self-serving ideology that it is. In these pages, you will discover: How the liberals' one true goal explains everything they say and everything they do Why every liberal solution to every problem involves more government, less freedom, and higher taxes Why liberals spend large amounts of their own money to acquire power, but rarely spend that same money to solve social problems Why liberals must use deception and force to enact an agenda that they insist "the American people want" Why liberals cloak themselves in American institutions, principles, and values, even as they do everything in their power to tear them down If you want to understand American liberals and their agenda, this book is for you.

Tracing the transformation of liberal political ideology from the end of the Civil War to the early twentieth century, Nancy Cohen offers a new interpretation of the origins and character of modern liberalism. She argues that the values and programs associated with modern liberalism were formulated not during the Progressive Era, as most accounts maintain, but earlier, in the very different social context of the Gilded Age. Integrating intellectual, social, cultural, and economic history, Cohen argues that the reconstruction of liberalism hinged on the reaction of postbellum liberals to social and labor unrest. As new social movements of workers and farmers arose and phrased their protests in the rhetoric of democratic producerism, liberals retreated from earlier commitments to an expansive vision of democracy. Redefining liberal ideas about citizenship and the state, says Cohen, they played a critical role in legitimating emergent corporate capitalism and politically insulating it from democratic challenge. As the social cost of economic globalization comes under international critical scrutiny, this book revisits the bitter struggles over the relationship between capitalism and democracy in post-Civil War America. The resolution of this problem offered by the new liberalism deeply influenced the progressives and has left an enduring legacy for twentieth-century American politics, Cohen argues.

Forty years ago Louis Hartz surveyed American political thought in his classic The Liberal Tradition in America. He concluded that American politics was based on a broad liberal consensus made possible by a unique American historical experience, a thesis that seemed to minimize the role of political conflict.Today, with conflict on the rise and with much of liberalism in disarray, James P. Young revisits these questions to reevaluate Hartz's interpretation of American politics. Young's treatment of key movements in our history, especially Puritanism and republicanism's early contribution to the Revolution and the Constitution, demonstrates in the spirit of Dewey and others that the liberal tradition is richer and more complex than Hartz and most contemporary theorists have allowed.The breadth of Young's account is unrivaled. Reconsidering American Liberalism gives voice not just to Locke, Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, Lincoln, and Dewey but also to Rawls, Shklar, Kateb, Wolin, and Walzer. In addition to broad discussions of all the major figures in over 300 years of political thought?with Lincoln looming particularly large?Young touches upon modern feminism and conservatism, multiculturalism, postmodernism, rights-based liberalism, and social democracy. Out of these contemporary materials Young synthesizes a new position, a smarter and tougher liberalism not just forged from historical materials but reshaped in the rough and tumble of contemporary thought and politics.This exceptionally timely study is both a powerful survey of the whole of U.S. political thought and a trenchant critique of contemporary political debates. At a time of acrimony and confusion in our national politics, Young enables us to see that salvaging a viable future depends upon our understanding how we have reached this point.Never without his own opinions, Young is scrupulously fair to the widest range of thinkers and marvelously clear in getting to the heart of their ideas. Although his book is a substantial contribution to political theory and the history of ideas, it is always accessible and lively enough for the informed general reader. It is essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of U.S. political thought or, indeed, about the future of the country itself.

Race and the Making of American Liberalism traces the roots of the contemporary crisis of progressive liberalism deep into the nation's racial past. Horton argues that the contemporary conservative claim that the American liberal tradition has been rooted in a "color blind" conception of individual rights is innaccurate and misleading. In contrast, American liberalism has alternatively served both to support and oppose racial hierarchy, as well as socioeconomic inequality more broadly. Racial politics in the United States have repeatedly made it exceedingly difficult to establish powerful constituencies that understand socioeconomic equity as vital to American democracy and aspire to limit gross disparities of wealth, power, and status. Revitalizing such equalitarian conceptions of American liberalism, Horton suggests, will require developing new forms of racial and class identity that support, rather than sabotage this fundamental political commitment.
