The Lost History of Liberalism challenges our most basic assumptions about a political creed that has become a rallying cry - and a term of derision - in today's increasingly divided public square. Taking listeners from ancient Rome to today, Helena Rosenblatt traces the evolution of the words "liberal" and "liberalism", revealing the heated debates that have taken place over their meaning. In this timely and provocative book, Rosenblatt debunks the popular myth of liberalism as a uniquely Anglo-American tradition centered on individual rights.

Narrator made the history of liberalism sexy

I love this narrator's voice and love the way she delivers the prose typical of academic nonfiction. Many narrator's read in an elevated, almost arrogant tone for "serious" political work. That approach is annoying. I wish this narrator did more nonfiction!
