Liberalism's Crooked Circle Letters to Adam Michnik

Winner of the 1997 Michael Harrington Award, Caucus for a New Political Science section of the American Political Science Association Winner of the 1996 Lionel Trilling Award, Columbia University "[A] thoughtful and eminently readable contribution to debates about the future of liberalism... [Katznelson] argues for a synthesis of the most progressive elements of political liberalism with the strengths of the socialist critique of capitalism."--William E. Scheuerman, Political Science Quarterly "Liberalism's Crooked Circleis an intellectually rich engagement with two large issues in contemporary liberalism... Historically grounded and sociologically realistic--it is a great success."--The Boston Review of Books "Thoughtful and eminently readable contribution to debates about the future of liberalism... Katznelson's argument is provocative."--Political Science Quarterly "Katznelson's prose style is as elegant as his political stance is sophisticated. This is a subtle, searching examination of liberalism's complicated relationship to concerns about class inequality and social difference."--Library Journal "[An] unusual and inventive work."--Foreign Affairs
