Offers a provocative study of the Liberal and Conservative forces that fought each other to shape American political culture and character during the nation's most prosperous years. The central theme is the bitter struggle to fashion post-World War II society between a historic Protestant Ethic that equated free-market economics and money-making with Godliness, and a new, secular Liberal temperament that emerged from the ordeals of depression and world war to stress social justice and security.
