The three decades after the end of World War II saw the rise and
fall of a particular version of liberalism in which the state
committed itself to promoting a modest form of economic
egalitarianism while simultaneously embracing ethnic, racial, and
religious pluralism. But by the mid-1970s, postwar liberalism was
in a shambles: while its commitment to pluralism remained, its
economic policies had been abandoned, and the Democratic Party, its
primary political vehicle, was collapsing. Schiller attributes this
demise to the legal architecture of postwar liberalism, arguing
that postwar liberalism's goals of advancing economic
egalitarianism and promoting pluralism ultimately conflicted with
each other. Through the use of specific historical examples,
Schiller demonstrates that postwar liberalism was riddled with
legal and institutional contradictions that undermined progressive
politics in the mid-twentieth-century United States.
