American Liberalism

de John McGowan

"Liberalism's evolution from 1789 to the present is marked by changing threats to freedom and new strategies for providing it. In developing a comprehensive vision of social justice, liberalism has retained a continuity of principles. Tracing this history, McGowan offers a clear vision of liberalism's foundational values as America's best guarantee today of liberty and the peace in which to exercise it."--Jacket.
