The Case for Liberalism in an Age of Extremism

The Case for Liberalism in an Age of Extremism is a defense of liberalism and its renewed relevance today. It makes the case for classic liberal values and programs over radical-left and reactionary right-wing agendas, and for centrism over extremism ingeneral, showing why the United States has thrived throughout history because of its enduringly centrist base. It seeks to restore contemporary liberalism to its important place in the American political landscape, and attempts to persuade centrists fromboth the left and right--who may today call themselves progressives or moderate conservatives--that they, too, belong in the big tent of centrist liberalism.--Front jacket flap.
