Illiberal America: A History

Steven Hahn
b-boy bouiebaisseb-boy bouiebaisse

I read Steven Hahn, a historian, his new book, “Illiberal America,” which stretches back to America’s... colonial origins to the present, to think through the illiberal political tradition in American life. It’s wide ranging, and very interesting, and worth reading.

Anyway as @un_a_valeable just pointed out, Hamid seems to just be describing Robert Dahl’s “polyarchy,” a term Dahl coined in 1956.

my semi-regular reminder that one of most powerful and enlightening books I've ever read is @KhalilGMuhammad 's "The Condemnation of Blackness: Race, Crime, and the Making of Modern Urban America", which among other things is a history of crime statistics. https://t.co/YujUvrv8XW

@DouglasLukasik @Laurence1084 @Regan_Smart In The Age of Federalism, Stanley Elkins, Eric McKitrick attach great significance to an early meeting of Washington and the Senate where the former makes a direct appeal to the latter in their chamber. Are they leftists for doing so? Are they wrong?
