Louis Hartz's Liberal Tradition in America as Method
On the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Louis Hartz's The Liberal Tradition in America, the book remains more controversial than ever. As Philip Abbott has recently catalogued, the book has been attacked from literally every direction possible. Sean Wilentz summarizes the feelings of many when he argues that Hartz should be forgotten, or at best considered “a figure of historical interest.” Hartz has been accused of being loose with the…

Political scientists working in the area of American political development (APD) focus on America's political history with the goal of explaining why the nation's often peculiar collection of institutions and policies grew the way they did.

Collective Precommitment From Temptation: The Amish and Social Security
The literature on precommitment in order to avoid temptation has provided a powerful analytical tool in explaining individual behavior. However, a thorough discussion is lacking of how groups of like-minded individuals work together to bind themselves through even more powerful strategies. There are binding strategies, and combinations of strategies, that are difficult (if not impossible) to pursue individually. Thus, by working together, individ…
The Shifting Rhetoric of Insurance Denial
The focus on actuarial tables and rating systems by state regulators is insufficient to ensure that protected groups are not discriminated against by the insurance industry. The most powerful tool used to exclude unwanted groups from the insurance pool lies in the subjective underwriting guidelines companies utilize, yet the rhetoric surrounding the insurance industry shifts attention away from this area
