Or out of favor, a consensus formed in the United States around centrist political views to the point where the Political Parties were barely distinguishable. A belief in a mixed economy ruled, meaning a broad acceptance of some government involvement in the market. All right. So the last couple classes we have been talking about the red scare, kind of the impact of the red scare and policing the edges of american politics. Today well be looking at kind of the rest of the political landscape, beginning to look at what people now refer to as the liberal consensus of the 19 forts and 1950s and try to work through what actually is happening in terms of the kind of main thoroughfare of american politics, the possibility for Political Action and the way people are thinking about politics in america in the 40s and 50s. You also had three readings, all of which in different ways deal with the kind of idea of political ideology and all of which share a set of assumptions about the way that ide
Protection program and businesses of all sizes have started to use the tax tools that we provided for their liquidity. But in that time the critics have also done what they do best. They criticize. The need came has seized on an opportunity to perpetuate every negative story that critics can manufacture. You can imagine my surprise when democrats criticized the net operating loss carryback provisions in the cares act. Because oddly democrats previously supported the last three bills where we expanded the net operating loss carrybacks in 2002, 2005, and even in 2009 with all democrat rule. So i dont recall in any of those instances any partisan attacks from democrats about this previously bipartisan, antirecessionary policy tools. So why now . Sadly, that irresponsibility has led our democratic colleagues in the house to pass legislation that would take back important tax tools that we have provided in the cares act to the tune of 254 billion, and thats a tax increase on the american bu
Beginning to look at what people now referred to as the liberal consensus of the 1930s and 1940s. See what is happening in terms of what is happening is terms of the main through four of american politics. What is possible in terms of action and the way people are thinking about politics in the forties and fifties. You also had three readings, all of which in different ways, deal with the idea of political ideology and all which share a set of political assumptions about the way ideas matter to politics. We will sort of be thinking today about how they kind of frame those ideas. This is a transition class where we move from discussing the geopolitics of the cold war and the red scare into discussing sort of what else is happening in america in the 19 forties and 19 fifties. Shall we start with daniel bell . Everyones favorite reading from today. I assume there are very few questions about this one. Yes . Is he essentially saying that the political ideology are not worth it anymore. And

Senate to talk about how the tragic spread of the coronavirus around the world underscored the need for us to focus on the persistent challenge of china not playing by the rules. Now, in the case of coronavirus that was about china not telling the World Health Organization, not telling other countries, not telling their own people what was happening in terms of the coronavirus, not taking steps to stop International Travel early on. That wasnt playing by the w. H. O. Rules, the World Health Organization rules, and the result has been devastation. It has been the spread of the virus and so much of that devastation weve seen around the globe, in my view could have been avoided had they played by the rules. Unfortunately not playing by the rules applies to china in many other areas too.
