Abstract

Revolution and Reaction
Hacker, Louis M. | July 18, 1934 issue

add to cart   close window

This article critically appraises the books "The Method of Freedom," by Walter Lippmann and "The Coming American Revolution," by George Soule. Unquestionably, more books like these two will be written, for, as Soule himself has observed, in a revolutionary climate the voice of the intellectual is increasingly heard; but it is to be doubted whether one shall see for some time a more courageous and forthright presentation of the role of revolution in modern society than Smile's book or a more subtle and disingenuous defense of reaction than Lippmann's. These two books are vastly different in another way.
