IU Political Science Professor Aurelian Craiutu was quoted in T. Edsall’s essay on liberalism in the New York Times, July 7, 2026.
Speaking about liberalism, Craiutu said “Liberals closer to the classical liberal tradition must acknowledge that market pathologies such as monopolies and the political reinforcement of gross inequalities require the attention of political leaders. These early death certificates (of liberalism) are not only premature but deeply mistaken. It has often been proclaimed exhausted, nefarious or simply dead, but it is still with us today, while fascism and communism, two of its past fierce enemies, have almost entirely lost their appeal and their records speak for themselves.”
