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.

Oggetto: Re: [SHOE] Political use of the word "liberals"

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.
