It's worth noting that this is a book review (though like all NYer book reviews, it obscures that info): Alexander Zevin, Liberalism at Large (Verso, 2019).[1] It's a deeply researched work of academic history. The examples given briefly in the review are detailed, sourced, and analyzed at length in the book. Perhaps the critics here will still be unconvinced; perhaps they (or others) will learn something new.
