Looking beyond the courtroom, Kathleen J. Frydl argues that members of Congress played the decisive role in securing identity-based corporate powers. By couching their efforts to assist corporations as \"fair play,\" legislators turned modern liberalism into a strictly procedural philosophy, devoid of substantive claims and uninterested in power differentials. In a sweeping narrative, Liberalism and the Reinvention of the Modern Corporation places corporate identity politics at the heart of the modern conservative movement, the crisis of liberalism, and the fractured politics that define the current American political moment.","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47397891801324,"sku":"9780197567395","price":388.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/506322aae42f58a9f90c300334106473.jpg?v=1773777422"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-studies-in-postwar-american-political-development.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
