I spent one year in Stanford many many years ago, in 1987/8.
In one of the classes I attended, the textbook used was: The American Political System. A Radical Approach, written by Edward S. Greenberg (Fourth Edition).
In the third chapter there is a brief and clear analysis of "The Cultural Milieu: Liberalism"; it contains social ramifications of liberalism; liberal culture and capitalist society, and the American experience.
I dare to suggest reading this book, even if old.

Franklin Roosevelt renamed liberal to mean progressive as opposed to the European form of liberalism.

After reading Scgumpeter and Hayek on this issue, I had the impression that this conflation emerged during the second world war.
