	The Reconstruction of American Liberalism, 1865-1914, by Nancy Cohen. Introduction. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Liberal philosophy and politics were born in a reaction against monarchical absolutism, and liberalism's central principles can be understood as the repudiation of conservatism, its organic worldview, and its defense of hierarchy and order, tradition and religious dogma, authority and obedience.
		Liberal reformers played a significant role in shaping the American solution to the problem of the relationship between democracy and capitalism, at the moment when "progressivism," "new liberalism," and social democracy erupted into the political arena of the transatlantic world.
		Liberal reform intellectuals were owners of capitalist property, but unlike most men of their class, their work kept them at some remove from the day-to-day activities of business and the real conflicts between labor and capital in the Gilded Age.

	Liberal Judaism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Liberal Judaism is a term used by some communities for what is otherwise known as Reform Judaism or Progressive Judaism (particularly in the UK, but also elsewhere).
		The Liberal movement (and the Liberal Jewish Synagogue) in the UK were founded in the early part of the 20th century by Lily Montagu, Claude Montefiore and others.
		The confusion about the terms "Reform" or "Liberal" arose because at that time in the UK, 'Reform Judaism' meant the West London Synagogue, which was not connected with German or American Reform, and in modern terms strongly conservative.

	Liberal reform activism ends in Saudi Arabia \| EnergyBulletin.net \| Energy and Peak Oil News
		The issues raised by the reformers - greater political participation, the role of women, and constitutional limits on the power of the al-Saud - are not going away, but at least for now, the house of al-Saud thinks that it does not have to address them.
		In Oxford Analytica’s view, in the last six months, efforts at liberal reform in the country have suffered a number of other setbacks, including a “national dialogue” meeting permitted by the government in June this year which was turned into a rallying point against social reform.
		What remains of the high tide of reform activism in Saudi Arabia are the municipal elections for half of the seats on 178 municipal councils to be held regionally in February, March and April 2005.

	"Reagan's Liberal Legacy" by Joshua Green
		The historic Tax Reform Act of 1986, though it achieved the supply side goal of lowering individual income tax rates, was a startlingly progressive reform.
		Liberals and conservatives wouldn't agree on which is which, but they would have to agree that Reagan completely flipped after 1981.
		The fact that his conservative biographers don't see fit to acknowledge these deviations is a clue that their aim is something besides an accurate depiction of the life and achievements of the 40th president.

	The liberal reform period (from Sweden) -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		The pressure of the opposition, however, at last forced the king to yield, and the 1840 parliament, in which the liberal opposition had the majority, forced through the “departmental reform,” which meant that the ministers actually became the heads of their own ministries.
		Another reform of great significance was the introduction in 1842 of compulsory school education.

	EIAL VIII1 - The Ideology of the Mexican Revolution, 1910-40
		Economic liberals are likely to favour neo-classical economic principles, or rational choice models of political analysis, while at the same time recommending the market and self-seeking individualism as the best means to maximize utility -as they would put it.
		Political liberalism therefore long antedated the Revolution (it was an old bit of inherited DNA); the Revolution began, as Córdova notes, with a clarion call to the past; and its power -like the power of any historical ideology- depended on its emotive appeal and masa constituency, not just its internal intellectual coherence or originality.
		Local (Maderista) liberals were less enamoured of Catholic political competition; but it was not until 1913-14, with the Huerta coup, the death of Madero, and the ensuing hardening of political enmities, that anticlericalism became a major item of revolutionary policy.

	MyDD :: Eureka! Or How To Break the Republican Majority Coalition
		In the current, dominant political narrative, liberals are understood to be status-quo "elites" controlling the levers of power of important institutions such as academia, the judiciary, the media and the entertainment industry, and thus a vote against these liberal insiders is generally perceived as, well, the reformer and liberal thing to do.
		Non-ideological reformers, who are latent liberals, vote for change in these institutions and for the individual struggling against these institutions, as a reformer and a liberal would be expected to do.
		Liberalism acquired a reputation, deserved or not, as wimpy and elitist, in place of the old fighting liberalism of a Truman or an LBJ that spoke to the working class.

	The Daily Star - Opinion Articles - Don't confuse Arab democracy with liberal reform
		Liberal reform parties that tried to transcend communal identities and appeal to all Iraqis did not do well.
		For a half-century, the reformers explain, Arab nationalist regimes have been a disaster, creating societies and economies that rank low by every statistical measure of development, while leading their countries into countless costly and fruitless wars and crises.
		Reformers insist that the vast majority of people support moderate solutions; or at least that radical Islamist groups would have to become pragmatic in order to compete for power and govern.

		It is mostly Democrats who say they care about campaign-finance reform, but the fact that Dean has suffered no measurable loss of support by opting out of the public-financing system indicates that not even Democrats really care about it.
		Reformers especially abhor big contributions of the sort McCain-Feingold supposedly banished because they are corrupting or create the "appearance" of corruption.
		It is to be hoped that the U.S. Supreme Court, which right now is writing its ruling about the constitutionality of McCain-Feingold, is as clearheaded as Gephardt is about the law he is proud to have "led the fight for." Gephardt has never flinched from saying that the First Amendment is a dispensable relic.

		Liberal reform 1906-1914 The huge scale of the Liberal party's victory in the 1906 general election guaranteed many new faces among the ranks of Liberal MPs, in favour of change in the field of social welfare.
		Between the years 1906 and 1914, the Liberals took steps to improve the health standards and the living and working conditions of the lower class.
		The effectiveness of Liberal rule on these matters is not clear, as much of the legislation introduced to solve poverty problems, can be argued to be unsuccessful at what it was intended to achieve.

		Now another famous Progressive reform is about to hit the liberals where it hurts.
		The original reformers thought it would be a great idea to provide in the constitution for the recall of the governor by a vote of the people, if he offended them sufficiently.

		The president has again become guarantor of the liberal reform process that came to a halt in 1996.
		This is in large part due to the fact that budget revenues do not experience intense erosion during the short, unavoidable period of high inflation, thus allowing a country to preserve those aspects of socialism to which its population has become accustomed.
		When prices were liberalized and, as a result of inflation, the budget lost a portion of its revenues, the government should have taken the next step -- attempting to balance revenues with spending.

	Social Security Reform: A Liberal Approach to Privitization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Without reform, there will be $8 billion in unfunded Social Security benefits, which will require either a large tax increase or benefit cuts of 20 to 35 percent.
		If it had a new vision, the left would want Social Security reform whether or not there is a crisis, because the current system's centralization stifles people, and because the current system is a regressive tax that is unfair to working people.
		If they were given the choice, it seems that Americans would reject conservative proposals for social security reform, which would make us a nation of stock market speculators, in favor of the sort of proposal that we have sketched here, which would make us a nation of savers and home owners.

		Philosopher and classicist Martha C. Nussbaum takes up the challenge of conservative critics of academe to argue persuasively that sustained reform in the aim and content of liberal education is the most vital and invigorating force in higher education.
		Cultivating Humanity: A Classical Defense of Reform in Liberal Education argues in favor of the current trends in eliminating the traditional "western canon" as it has been understood.
		Critics have come at Nussbuam from nearly every conceivable front, claiming that she argues that education is ultimately political, that she provides ineffectual anecdotal evidence from America's top-tier and well-funded universities, that she aims to destroy the western perspective and finally, that she is idealistic and unpractical.

		He explains effectively why Liberal policies failed to attract commoner support; simply put, their policies on such matters as land, jury trials, marriage and divorce were not in the masses' best interests and the masses knew it.
		In their introduction, the authors announce that they set out to "show that...the Liberal reforms [of the 1870s and beyond] only formalized a situation long in the making." Thus, they "downgrade the significance of the reform movement of the 1870s as a turning point in the economic, political, and social history of Central America" (p.
		Thus, although Gudmundson and Lindo-Fuentes are right to push back the origins of the "Liberal" reforms and to place economic causes before poltical effects, we should not too hastily disregard or unjustifiably minimize the significance of the Liberal Revolutions of the 1870s.

		Her vigorous defense of the new education is rooted in Seneca's ideal of the citizen who scrutinizes tradition critically and who respects the ability to reason wherever it is found--in rich or poor, native or foreigner, female or male.
		Taking up the challenge of conservative critics of academe, she argues persuasively that sustained reform in the aim and content of liberal education is the most vital and invigorating force in highereducation today.
