Freedom's Power
- Synopsis
-
Starr (sociology and public affairs, Princeton U. ) writes in defense of modern democratic liberalism, arguing that it is better able to allow society to "achieve both greater power and greater freedom" than its political rivals. Half of his work consists of a history of the evolution of liberalism from constitutionally limited monarchies through the Cold War that is designed to demonstrate liberalism's superiority as a political ideology. The second half of the text consists of his thoughts on what modern democratic liberalism and liberal internationalism should attempt to achieve in the domestic and international arenas should it regain the reins of power in the United States.
