About this title

Synopsis

Traces liberalism back to the Bill of Rights, and lauds such liberal achievements as Social Security, unemployment compensation, and environmental protection

Reviews

Not really an academic tome or objective analysis of American liberalism, this is more what the author calls "a manifesto." It is an impassioned defense of modern liberalism in the United States. As Barash accurately reminds us, a liberal is one who has an imagination but is not one with both feet firmly planted in the air. According to him, liberalism, at least today, constitutes the forgotten foundations of our modern political culture. He wisely reminds us that in spite of the current low state of the word "liberal," we continue to support liberalism itself. It's a message worth hearing and heeding. Recommended for all political science collections.
