'The Long Crisis' explores the origins and implications of one of the most significant developments across the globe over the last fifty years: the diminished faith in government as capable of solving public problems. Conventional accounts of the shift toward market and private sector governing solutions have focused on the rising influence of conservatives, libertarians, and the business sector. Bejamin Holtzman, however, locates the origins of this transformation in the efforts of city-dwellers to preserve liberal commitments of the postwar period.
