Viac o knihe

The book explores the tension between America's liberal democratic tradition and the rising criticism of liberalism from both the right and left. John McGowan emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical significance of liberalism in shaping American politics, from the era of James Madison through the New Deal and Great Society. He urges readers to reconsider the value of liberalism in the face of illiberal alternatives, advocating for a thoughtful engagement with the principles that have underpinned American democracy.
