Red state vs. blue state. Republican vs. Democrat. Fox News vs. The Daily Show.

Entering the fray, Solon Simmons offers an intriguing twist on the debate: Our disagreements come not from unbridgeable divides, but from differing interpretations of a single underlying American tradition—liberalism. Both champions of traditional liberal values, Republicans have become the party of individual freedom while Democrats wear the mantle of tolerance.

Reviews for The Eclipse of Equality: Arguing America on Meet the Press
"Simmons brilliantly distills 70 years of conversations on Meet the Press into an engaging account of America's post-war political trajectory. With conservatives championing individual freedom and liberals promoting group rights, economic equality has largely disappeared from our national conversation. The Eclipse of Equality breaks new ground by uncovering the rhetorical roots of our present political malaise."
