Robert Mason, professor of history at the University of Edinburgh, is the author of The Republican Party and American Politics from Hoover to Reagan.Iwan Morgan, professor of United States studies at University College London, is the author of Reagan: American Icon and coeditor of From Sit-Ins to SNCC: The Student Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.
Here, leading scholars-including Hodgson himself-confront the longstanding theory that a liberal consensus shaped the United States after World War II. The essays draw on fresh research to examine how the consensus related to key policy areas, how it was viewed by different factions and groups, what its limitations were, and why it fell apart in the late 1960s.
