Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Liberalism in America: Its Origin, Its Temporray Collapse, Its Future If I were reviewing this book - and in the last six years I have reviewed a great many - I should be inclined to say that the volume was slightly uneven in tone, and I should probably point out that it was somewhat unfortunate that the first chapter of all others should be the least unified in form and the least effective in structure. Then, after a paragraph or two about the stimulating or pernicious quality of the arguments and opinions (according to my sympathies), I should conclude with an exhibition of my superiority to the author by pointing out that no definite remedies were advanced for the curing of the evils exposed. In any case, I am inclined to think I should call the point of view unconventional and I am not at all sure I should not make use of that extremely serviceable adjective "provocative." (In my early days as a reviewer I employed this method with great success, at any rate as far as my editors were concerned - I cannot speak for the authors.) Now as a matter of fact such a review would strike me as, on the whole, reasonably fair. The first chapter wanders a trifle because the definition of liberalism which I make - of a tolerant and rationalistic temper, best expressed, perhaps, by Voltaire´s letter to Helvetius, "I wholly disapprove of what you say and will defend to the death your right to say it" - is so simple that I prefer to a merely verbal discussion an attempt to put concretely what this attitude implies in life.
