Description: In 1961, Forcey published this book just in time to make its mark on the new revisionist history of the 1960s. Forcey argues that the early decades ot the 20th century witnessed the emergence of a new form of liberalism-more concerned with government intervention on behalf of social justice than with the rights of individuals. It was widely cited for illuminating a new political direction that would eventually change the popular understanding of liberalism and chart a course toward the New Deal and late 20th-century social provision.
