GOVT-453 Emotional/Psychological Costs of Liberalism

Professor Glass

Liberalism is a theory of liberty, of possessiveness and materialism. For many classical liberals, freedom meant the 'freedom' to pursue the market, to equate one's economic self interest with individualism. But there are psychological costs to the ideology of success and possessive individualism; and it is those costs, particulary in terms of alienation, lonliness, isolation, and fear, we will explore in a literature focusing on serious omissions in the political psychology of
liberalism. [Political Theory]
