The Once and Future Liberal: After Identity Politics by Mark Lilla (English) Pap

Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE The Once and Future Liberal by Mark Lilla An impassioned and biting critique of the failure of American liberalism. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description For nearly 40 years, Ronald Reagans vision--small government, lower taxes, and self-reliant individualism--has remained Americas dominant political ideology. The Democratic Party has offered no truly convincing competing vision. Instead, American liberalism has fallen under the spell of identity politics.Mark Lilla argues with acerbic wit that liberals, originally driven by a sincere desire to protect the most vulnerable Americans, have now unwittingly invested their energies in social movements rather than winning elections. This abandonment of political priorities has had dire consequences. But, with the Republican Party led by an unpredictable demagogue and in ideological disarray, Lilla believes liberals now have an opportunity to turn from the divisive politics of identity, and offer positive ideas for a shared future. A fiercely-argued, no-nonsense book, The Once and Future Liberal is essential reading for our momentous times.
