Bernie Sanders and the Boundaries of Reform - Socialism in Burlington

Informationen zum Autor W. J. Conroy is Professor of Political Science and History at Kentucky Wesleyan College. Klappentext "Originally published in 1990 and based on my doctoral dissertation for Fordham University, Bernie Sanders and the Boundaries of Reform is a 1980s case study of how much autonomy the local state (i.e. the city government) has within the external constraints of the capitalist system of private enterprise and the federalist system of government. I chose this case study as a unique opportunity to examine a socialist mayor and several radical left city commissioners (the Progressive Coalition) who were elected to office as the nation was veering right with the agenda of Ronald Reagan. It was the anomalous character of the city government of Burlington, Vermont, that drew me to the case"--Preface.
