Debating the American State: Liberal Anxieties and the New Leviathan, 193-197
Anne M. Kornhauser
Through a broad and unusual cast of characters-from American social scientists and legal academics, to German refugee intellectuals, to the philosopher John Rawls-Debating the American State shows that the "leviathan" administrative state was never given a proper and principled justification by the liberals who built and supported it.
Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.;'Debating the American State' traces the encounter between liberal thought and the rise of the administrative state and the resulting legitimacy issues that arose for democracy, the rule of law, and individual autonomy. Anne Kornhauser examines a broad and unusual cast of characters, including American social scientists and legal academics, the philosopher John Rawls, and German refugee intellectuals who had witnessed the destruction of democracy in the face of a totalitarian administrative state.
