Böcker av Marcus G. Raskin

This edited volume reveals how a permanent war economy has made the United States unable to spread democracy abroad and has worsened domestic problems.

First Published in 1992. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an Informa company.

FDR's Four Freedoms-Freedom of Speech, Freedom to Worship, Freedom from Want, and Freedom from Fear-were presented to the American people in his 1941 State of the Union address, and they became the inspiration for a second bill of rights, extending the New Deal and guaranteeing work, housing, medical care, and education.

Against the conservative onslaught, Raskin asserts and demonstrates how the liberal purpose is tied to human liberation and inclusivity for all people. For liberalism to succeed in the 21st century, it must reckon with its past mistakes - especially its reluctance to be bold.
