Description:
The terms "left" and "right" have become ingrained in our minds -- in politics, economics, and social theory. But, as Hugh Graham argues in this absorbing book, these concepts have always distorted and limited the way we think about politics and ourselves -- and this is true today more than ever. Socialism versus capitalism, collectivism versus individualism, governmental programs versus the free market: all these oppositions add up to an obsolete world view.
Expand description
Graham explores the past, present, and future of left and right, beginning with the French Revolution and taking readers through the Industrial Revolution, communism and fascism, past the Cold War, and into our current puzzling state of affairs. And Graham offers powerful hope for a more mature, better-rounded sense of community and individuality.
