New American Ideology How the Ideological Basis of Legitimate Authority in America Is Being Radically Transformed, the Profound Implications Fo

In George Lodge's classic account, now appearing for the first time in paperback, the author argues that America is in the midst of a great transformation, comparable to the one which ended the medieval era in the West. The old ideas-individualism, property rights, competition, the limited state, and scientific specialization-have become increasingly irrelevant in a world of necessariliy huge organizations and limited resources. The United States today has become a considerably less self-assured nation, lacking a sense of direction and control, profoundly uncertain about authority and legitimacy.Lodge, George C. is the author of 'New American Ideology How the Ideological Basis of Legitimate Authority in America Is Being Radically Transformed, the Profound Implications Fo' with ISBN 9780814750278 and ISBN 0814750273.
