In the 1960s and 70s, an insurgent attack on traditional liberalism took shape in America, built on new ideals of citizen advocacy and the public interest. Environmentalists, social critics, and consumer advocates like Rachel Carson, Jane Jacobs, Ralph Nader, and others crusaded against what they saw as a misguided and often corrupt government. Drawing energy from civil rights protests and opposition to the Vietnam War, the new citizens movement drew legions of followers and scored major victories, disrupting plans for highways and dams, banning harmful chemicals, and blocking pipelines. In the process, citizen advocates helped to undermine big government liberalism and, ironically, clear the way for Reagan-era "free market" conservatives who sought to slash regulations and enrich corporations. Public Citizens traces the history of the public interest movement and explores its tangled legacy, showing the ways New Deal liberalism fell apart and the challenges in trying to replace it"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Liberalism $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Bureaucracy $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Public interest groups $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Pressure groups $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1945-1989. 941 $a 7 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021839.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20220114010303.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20211130012131.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20211102020746.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211102014418.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20211005010632.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210803013853.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1B07028AF42411EB9533E30756ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
