POLSC 486 - The Death and Life of American Liberalism
Credits: 4
An examination of the evolution of American liberalism. Themes include the emergence of liberalism against the background of 19th century industrialism and the erosion of an earlier civic equality, the ascendancy of the liberal idea from the New Deal through the Great Society, the eventual loss of a coherent vision, and renewed prospects for an enduring liberal revival. The inquiry is framed by the question of the fate of American liberalism, its characteristic strengths and weaknesses, its dilemmas and myopias, and its roots in the American political tradition.
