The End of the Experiment ties together Stanley Rothman's theory of
post-industrialism and his four decades of research on American
politics and society. Rothman discusses the rise and fall of the
New Left, the sixties' impact on America's cultural elites, and the
emergence of new post-industrial humanistic values. The first part
of this book explains how cultural shifts in post-industrial
society increased the influence of intellectuals and redefined
America's core values. The second part examines how the shift in
American social and cultural values led to a crisis of confidence
in the American experiment. And in a final section, Rothman's
contemporaries provide insight into his work, reflecting on his
continued influence and his devotion to traditional liberalism.
Rothman presents a quantitative study of personality differences
between traditional American elites and new cultural elites.
Rothman argues that the experiment of America-as a new nation
rooted in democracy, morality, and civic virtue-is being destroyed
by a disaffected intellectual class opposed to traditional values.
