Left Turn

The book presents a critical examination of America's democratic crisis and the rise of authoritarianism, as articulated by social critic Stanley Aronowitz. Drawing from historical and political theory, he explores global political changes, particularly within the European left and Latin American movements. Aronowitz argues that the Democratic Party's centrism undermines its effectiveness and envisions a new left party that aligns with contemporary challenges like globalization and terrorism, aiming to restore public confidence in government.
