Reviews

"Citizens are too easily ""lost in ideology"". In this terrific book, Jason Blakely clarifies the shifting pathways and maps that shape both ideologies and possibilities for moving beyond them. -- Craig Calhoun, University Professor of Social Sciences, Arizona State University and co-author of Degenerations of Democracy This is a warm, humanist and vital book for our moment which does a tremendous job mapping the ideological terrain of the past 200 years. It manages to do so with both sophistication and a democratic sensibility. One is reminded of the quote attributed to Terence: ""Nothing human is foreign to me"". How many books can you point to where Michael Oakeshott, Wendy Brown, Marx and Mill, all are taken seriously and put in dialogue with one another? -- Matt McManus, author of The Political Right and Equality and co-host of the Academic Edgelords podcast"
