1 de sept. de 1999 · Achieving Our Country traces the sources of this debilitating mentality of shame in the Left, as well as the harm it does to its proponents and to the country. At the center of this history is the conflict between the Old Left and the New that arose during the Vietnam War era.
In Achieving Our Country Rorty argues that the Post 1960's or New Left is unable to establish a compromise between these positions, and thus is incapable of replying effectively to globalization, which for Rorty exemplifies the problems faced by the Left at the end of the Twentieth Century.
