Contemporary Conversations: Matt McManus on The Political Theory of Liberal Socialism

Matt McManus joins us to help excavate the common origins of liberalism and socialism within the revolutionary republican tradition and illuminate shared political and normative principles rooted in a commitment to egalitarianism and expressive individualism. His new work, The Political Theory of Liberal Socialism. functions as an survey of key figures within the tradition of political liberalism and how their ideas of freedom, equality, and solidarity run parallel to the development of socialism. McManus lays the groundwork for a reconciliation between a moribund liberalism and a revitalized form of social democracy that reunites the utopian vision of socialism with the moral foundations of liberalism.
