Synopsis
This is a critique of the lack in American thinking of theoretical self- definition and ideological consciousness which has become one of its central characteristics, a phenomenon particularly evident in the 1950s. The book ranges through the concepts of liberty, individualism, capitalism, democracy, pluralism, liberalism, conservatism, equality, nationalism and constitutionalism. At no point was the American belief in its freedom from dogmatic ideology stronger or more revealingly expressed than in the 1950s. It was during this era that American scholars declared the end of ideology and the post-war social consensus in the country seemed final proof that America was the model of a successful society because it had surmounted the need for ideologies, with the only remaining disputes being those which could be negotiated by means of a series of technical adjustments. To some extent, the Cold War reinforced the solidarity of this anti-ideological consensus. The book concludes with an exposition of constitutionalism as the vehicle of America's political values.

    Quality was as described. Good condition for a used book. Exactly what I was looking for. Selling price was fair given the market prices for books in this series. Seller shipped promptly but US Postal Service was slow in delivering, not fault of seller. Packaging was excellent and protected the book in transit as well as preventing damage from the US Mail carrier who stuffed it in our mailbox, with other packages, instead of bringing packages to the door. I am very satisfied.

    A very good and efficient transaction from start to finish. Shipping was quick and on time. Packing was good and protected. The yearbook was exactly as described in the details. Based on my research I believe that it was a good value. I would use this seller again.

    The seller inaccurately described the book as having a few small creases in the corners. The book was shipped and arrived very securely and well-packaged; however, the entire right edges of the pages of about a quarter of the book itself were severely bent and warped, clearly something which occurred pre-shipping. I believe I can get the pages flattened by stacking weights on the book over a prolonged period of time, but the seller’s description is very inaccurate.
