Two Faces of American Freedom is pretty damn awesome. It's introducing me to a lot of new concepts which is why I'm having a hard time describing why the book is so useful, but suffice it to say it illustrates the history of Republicanism and Populism and how they have transformed throughout American history. To me the book's thesis provides a roadmap for how socialists in the United States can reclaim classical Republican concepts like freedom and liberty.
