| Sumario: | "If you think liberalism is dead, think again. In this sure-to-be-controversial new book, Jeffrey M. Berry argues that modern liberalism is not only still alive, it's actually thriving. Today's new liberalism has evolved from a traditional emphasis on bread-and-butter economic issues to a form he calls "postmaterialism"--Quality-of-life concerns such as enhancing the environment, protecting consumers, or promoting civil rights." "Berry concludes that although liberal citizen groups make up only a small portion of the thousands of lobbying organizations in Washington, they have been, and will continue to be, a major force in shaping the political landscape."--Jacket. |
