Liberalism, Conservatism, and Americanism [Abstract]
|
|
|
| |

December 2, 1989
Lipset sets out to demonstrate the distinct differences between American and
European notions of liberalism and conservatism. Tocqueville's coined term
"American exceptionalism" reaffirms that social, political, and religious
systems took a unique form in the United States. American liberals and
conservatives alike have sought to extend the "good society" based on the
Protestant ethic worldwide, though, ironically, both see their domestic
opponents as advocates of immoral policies. The author concludes with an
assessment of the current global movement toward classical liberalism: "We are
all liberals-even the socialists and communists, "he asserts. As economic
liberalism is not a panacea for the world's problems, Lipset predicts a return
to the state-centric world in the not-so-near future.
