Over thirty years after Ten, their genre defining debut record, Pearl Jam remains one of the most resonant, successful, and enduring bands in the history of rock music. Pearl Jam: Song by Song celebrates Pearl Jam’s remarkable legacy through a deep dive into the meaning and themes of their music over the course of their ground-breaking career. It tracks Pearl Jam’s evolution through their explosive start, deliberate retreat, and gradual transformation into rock and roll elder statesmen, exploring how these experiences shaped their music, album by album, song by song. But since Pearl Jam’s music cannot be understood without reference to their legendary shows, famous for their intensity and community, Pearl Jam: Song by Song documents definitive live performances of every song and celebrates the transformative relationship between Pearl Jam and their fans.
That Broader Definition of Liberty synthesizes a political theory of the New Deal from the writings of Franklin Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, Henry Wallace, and Thurman Arnold. The resultant theory highlights the need for the public accountability of private economic power, arguing that when the private economic realm is unable to adequately guarantee the rights of citizens, the state must intervene to protect those rights. The New Deal created a new American social contract that accorded our right to the pursuit of happiness a status equal to liberty, and grounded both in an expansive idea of security as the necessary precondition for the exercise of either. This was connected to a theory of the common good that privileged the consumer as the central category while simultaneously working to limit the worst excesses of consumption-oriented individualism. This theory of ends was supplemented by a theory of practice that focused on ways to institutionalize progressive politics in a conservative institutional context. Brian Stipelman, drawing upon a mixture of history, American political development, and political theory, offers a comprehensive theory of the New Deal, covering both the ends it hoped to achieve and the means it used to achieve them.
