Nearly everywhere in Europe and the United States, the left is mired in crisis: its intellectuals and activists strike defensive poses and debate how to revive the fortunes of a cause whose adherents once believed they could and would shape the future. In this lecture, political expert and Georgetown University professor of history Michael Kazin will discuss how this crisis occurred and reflect on how the left, both radical and liberal, might move forward again.
