Liberalism: Time-Tested Principles for the Twenty-First Century

Liberalism: Time-Tested Principles for the Twenty-First Century offers a multi-dimensional definition of Liberalism and calls upon American Liberals to rally behind their principles. Key sentences: The principal concern of Liberalism has always been good government, which Liberals regard as an essential element of a good society. Liberals have a tradition of Nationalism. If they wish to flourish again, Liberals must find leaders who can win the confidence of those ordinary Americans who consider the well-being of America as their primary concern. Liberals are committed to an America that plays a positive role in the world, and provides a good life for all its people.

The Thatcher Revolution: Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Tony Blair, and the Transformation of Modern Britain

In his 1997 book, Tory Radicalism, prominent historian Earl A. Reitan studied the public policy agendas of Margaret Thatcher and her successor, John Major. Now thoroughly revised and extended, The Thatcher Revolution looks not only at Thatcher and Major, but also at the first ministry of Tony Blair. As Reitan examines the polices adopted by three revolutionary Prime Ministers, he insightfully illuminates the broader implications of the leaders' profound influence on British politics and society. In his analysis, Reitan pays particular attention to the rise of 'New Labour,' as led and defined by Tony Blair, as well as the extent to which the objectives of the movement were achieved. Designed for use in undergraduate courses on British politics and history, but written at a level accessible to general readers, The Thatcher Revolution is essential reading for anyone interested in the state and future of modern Britain.

Earl A. Reitan tells the fascinating story of the transformation of Britain between 1688 and 1792. The British Isles in 1688 were three struggling kingdoms: England-Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. For half a century they had been torn by political and religious dissension. During that period England had been of little consequence in the affairs of Europe, and in 1688 England's trade and colonies were modest. 
By 1792 Britain was politically stable, loyalty to the monarchy and the constitution was strong, the competent Pitt ministry enjoyed widespread support, and there were no serious social stresses. England and Scotland had been united, and a political settlement had been reached with Ireland that satisfied Irish aspirations. The British navy dominated the seas. The French empire was gone, and the Spanish empire was moribund. In 1792 Britain was in fact the only true world power.
