Doug Greene takes an in-depth and critical look at the life and
ideas of Michael Harrington, one of America's most important
democratic socialists. A Failure of Vision discusses one of the
most important champions for democratic socialism in the United
States. Michael Harrington (1928-1989) is widely recognized for
writing The Other America, a seminal expose of poverty in the
United States that inspired the War on Poverty. He was also the
founder of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which is
currently the largest socialist organization in the United States.
Michael Harrington hoped to transform democratic socialism from a
marginal view into a major political force in the United States. To
accomplish this, he advocated that socialists act as the "left-wing
of the possible" inside of the Democratic Party in order to
transform it into one that truly represented the people. In the
end, Realignment proved to be a dead end to advance socialist
politics. The questions proposed by Michael Harrington continue to
be sharply debated by socialists. With an engaging style and
critical approach to Michael Harrington's shortcomings, this book
is essential reading to understand contemporary debates on the
American left.
