Description: "Liberalism in America is under siege. Conservatives now treat it as an epithet and even some progressives spurn it. But according to Paul Starr, liberalism is a sturdy public philosophy, deeply rooted in our traditions, capable of making America and the world more free and secure. Freedom's Power shows why liberalism works - and how it can work for America again."--BOOK JACKET.
