| Description: |
Arguing that too many progressives have avoided politically sensitive issues, condemning themselves to political ineffectiveness, this text urges a transformation of US culture and institutions enabling individuals to pursue vital interests without undermining the public good. |
| Synopsis: |
Why does the right dominate debates on crime, family values, and economic freedom? Why does the left defend such diversionary policies as affirmative action, while equivocating on questions of ecology and political empowerment for young people? The answer, Cummings believes, is that too many progressives have avoided politically sensitive issues, condemning themselves to intellectual atrophy and political ineffectiveness. Cummings clearly is not an advocate for the "self-serving, hypocritical right." But he contends that the left handicaps itself with political correctness, and that frank analysis of taboo topics requires us to move beyond the traditional dichotomy of left and right. With passion and rigor, he argues for a transformation of U.S. culture and institutions that will enable individuals to pursue their vital interests without impinging on the rights of others and undermining the public good. |
