The Neo-Liberals
Book •
Randall Rothenberg's 'The Neo-Liberals' examines a cohort of centrist Democratic politicians and thinkers in the 1980s who sought to update the party's approach to economic and political challenges.
The book explores how these figures positioned themselves between old New Deal liberalism and the conservative turn of the era, often embracing market-friendly reforms while aiming to renew liberal governance.
Rothenberg traces the personalities, policy debates, and intellectual currents that defined this group and their influence on subsequent Democratic politics.
By chronicling the rhetoric and strategies of these reformers, the book situates their ideas within broader shifts in American political economy.
It became a touchstone for understanding how the label 'neoliberal' entered popular political discourse in that period.
