Kennedy vs. Carter: The 1980 Battle for the Democratic Party's Soul
ISBN: 9780700617029 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The late Edward Kennedy's liberal credentials were unimpeachable, and perhaps never as much on display as when he challenged incumbent Jimmy Carter for the presidency. Most accounts of modern U.S. politics view Ronald Reagan's landslide election in 1980 as a conservative realignment of the American public-and Kennedy's defeat in the Democratic primaries as the last hurrah of New Deal liberalism. Now an astute observer of the American scene reexamines those primary battles to contend that Kennedy's insurgent campaign was more popular than historians have presumed and was defeated only by...

ISBN: 9780742599659 / Angielski / Twarda / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

He shows how conservative activists and candidates tell many tales that come together to project a large-scale story; a cultural narrative; a vision of what America is and what it should do to prosper socially, economically, and politically. Liberals, by contrast, tend to look for...

Conventional explanations rely on comparison with Europe. Archer challenges these explanations by... Why is the United States the only advanced capitalist country with no labor party?
