“Over the last 25 years, liberalism has lost its good name and its sway over politics. But it’s liberalism’s loss of imagination that is most disheartening . . . Liberals have grown chastened and confused, afraid to think big ideas. Such reticence has its time and place; large-scale political and substantive failures demand introspection, not to mention humility. But it is time to be ambitious again.”
