Building New Deal Liberalism: The Political Economy Of

Reconstructing the story of how reformers used public authority to reshape the nation,Jason Scott Smith argues that the New Deal produced a revolution in state-sponsored economic development. The scale and scope of this dramatic federal investment in infrastructure laid crucial foundations--sometimes literally--for postwar growth,prestaging the national highways and the military-industrial complex.

The Achievement of American Liberalism: The New Deal and Its

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Chafe, William H., PUBLISHER: Columbia University Press, The New Deal established the contours and character of modern American democracy. It created an anchor and a reference point for American liberal politics through the struggles for racial, gender, and economic equality in the five decades that followed it. Indeed, the ways that liberalism has changed in meaning since the New Deal provide a critical prism through which to understand twentieth-century politics. From the consensus liberalism of the war years to the strident liberalism of the sixties to the besieged liberalism of the eighties and through the more recent national debates about welfare reform and Social Security privatization, the prominent historians gathered here explore the convoluted history of the complex legacy of the New Deal and its continuing effect on the present. In its scope and variety of subjects, this book reflects the protean quality of American liberalism. Alan Brinkley focuses on the range of choices New Dealers faced. Alonzo Hamby traces the Democratic Party's evolving effort to incorporate New Deal traditions in the Cold War era. Richard Fried offers a fresh look at the impact of McCarthyism. Richard Polenberg situates Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, in a tradition of liberal thought. And Melvin Urosfsky shows how the Roosevelt Court set the legal dimensions within which the debate about the meaning of liberalism would be conducted for decades. Other subjects include the effect of the Holocaust on relations between American Jews and African Americans; the limiting effects of racial and gender attitudes on the potential for meaningful reform; and the lasting repercussions of the tumultuous s. Provocative, illuminating and sure to raise questions for future study, "The Achievement of American Liberalism" testifies to a vibrant and vital field of inquiry.

The Self, the Individual, and the Community: Liberalism in

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Crowley, Brian Lee, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Traditional political theory has placed the individualist libertarian, F.A. Hayek, and utilitarian socialist planners, Sidney and Beatrice Webb, at opposite ends of the political spectrum. This book argues that, far from being mutually antagonistic, the philosophies of Hayek and the Webbs are subtly different aspects of a single tradition. Drawing attention to the underlying sympathies and affinities linking their work and viewing all three as bona fide bearers of the liberal banner, Dr. Crowley explores the relationship between politics, economics, and sociology in the liberal intellectual tradition. Liberalism, he concludes, fails to take into account the idea of community and, in its search for objective knowledge, is essentially anti-political and therefore removed from the real world.

With his hallmark forceful discernment,George Steiner presents in The Poetry of Thought his magnum opus: an examination of more than two millennia of Western culture,staking out his claim for the essential oneness of great thought and great style.
