The book focuses on cultural shifts as they appear in works written by some of the most widely-read authors of the last fifty years: the idea of love within a New Economy (Danielle Steel), the role of government in scientific inquiry (Michael Crichton), entangled political alliances and legacies in the aftermath of the 1960s (Tom Clancy), the restructured corporation (John Grisham), and the blurred line between state and personal empowerment (Dean Koontz). To address the current crisis, this book examines how the changed character of American liberalism has been rendered legible for a mass audience. 001359073 650_0 $$aCulture$$xStudy and teaching. 001359073 650_0 $$aCommunication. 001359073 650_0 $$aFiction. 001359073 650_0 $$aAmerica$$xLiteratures. 001359073 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xStudy and teaching. 001359073 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001359073 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3319893866 001359073 852__ $$bebk 001359073 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-89387-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001359073 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1359073$$pGLOBAL_SET 001359073 980__ $$aBIB 001359073 980__ $$aEBOOK 001359073 982__ $$aEbook 001359073 983__ $$aOnline 001359073 994__ $$a92$$bISE
