In this episode of Talking History, we'll be looking at the challenges facing American Liberalism from the 1960s to the 1990s through the prism of the political career and presidency of Bill Clinton, and we'll be debating whether it should be viewed as a success or a failure.
Joining host Patrick Geoghegan for this debate is:
• Nelson Lichtenstein, Research Professor in History at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and his book A Fabulous Failure: The Clinton Presidency and the Transformation of American Capitalism will be published in September 2023
• Dr Daniel Geary, Mark Pigott Associate Professor of U.S. History at Trinity
• Prof Patricia Sullivan, William Arthur Fairey II Professor of History at the University of South Carolina
• and Prof Mary Ellen Curtin, Associate Professor at the American University in Washington DC, and historian of modern African-American and women's social and political history.
