if they say they are, they say they are liberal because liberals tend to be smarter. of course, smarter people are attracted to the university or things like a very conservative company probably care a lot about money or you have some really different kind of values that orient the way you behave in the world and if you care about the last place you want to be added to university, so clearly that explains it. there's lots of chatter about why we have the university we have come away some people are attracted to jobs at why some are not. neil custer wrote this and offers an original and rigorous consistently surprising account of why the university looks the way it does. i'm not going to say to much more because we are going to start the night with neil himself will talk about the book for 50 minutes. and that we are in for a treat. we have an all-star piano of people to talk about neil's work. first we have paul starr, professor of sociology at print and university and someone who is used to using social science to engage the biggest in a significant public debates of

well you have the welfare liberals and the technocratic liberals right. so basically to find one set of a liberal coalition is people who are still wedded to a new deal coalition basically and i think on certain key economic issues they're part of the way right they want a more expansive welfare state they want more redistribution they want more equality. myself i'm a socialist i go a little bit further i think we should have even deeper democracy have even deeper equality but i think they're allies and struggle and i think one thing to remember is that we don't so much to have a liberal movement as we have you know people who vote democrat i'm not quite sure how ideological they are i think many of them are actually further to the left than if i and maybe you know some of them are actually liberals but we just don't have a broad political discourse like they do in other countries so i'm sure there are some social democrats and socialists who identify as liberals or obama supporters because there really is no other pragmatic political choice for them yeah

how many liberals, let's say not many. according to the agency's watchdog only a handful of groups were targeted by the irs compared to hundreds of conservative ones. only those that had words like occupy were reportedly even keystone in their name that could lead a non-lawyer, that would be me, there might have been an agenda to all of this. to target those who might be unfriendly to the administration, but again enough of that. i want to think about this. media that blocks the irs story because now they have some ridiculous cover to say, this really wasn't an irs conservative witch hunt. like that matters. irs was still on the hunt. not over the numbers those groups were putting on those forms, but who those groups were filing those forms. their data didn't get the irs's attention, they did. their views did. i don't care if the ratio is 99 to one, an agency to go after anyone. focus on the overtop behavior. an agency that is supposed to be about spreadsheets and they are going to spread this sheet? this sheet? okay, that

be they liberal or conservative. that is what i have a problem with. >> neil: what she said. >> i really do get that point. i will say this. it is the irs's obligation to make sure we don't give special tax treatment to groups that don't deserve that treatment. >> neil: fair enough. but if it's disproportionalitily in favor of conservative groups getting the hammer, whatever he ratio, would that alarm you? >> it would alarm me -- >> neil: only if it's only conservative groups apparently. >> if the conservative groups are disproportionately breaking the law and asking for special treatment they don't de -- . >> neil: none of them are doing that. >> i just think the irs has the obligation to look into it. it's a problem for the lawsuit that the more nonconservative groups we find to be nat same pool, the bigger problem. >> neil: we're not going to find a lot of these other groups but what this irs doing? after the administration that didn't like them to begin with, you can see where raising concerns about -- >> there's

who cares whether it is liberals or even a lot of liberals. hospital liberals and conservatives been sensed that a government was using its resources to shake down groups whether they are liberal or conservative? i think it is mostly conservative. i think some of the liberal groups the targeted words were occupy or you can claim to be opposed to the administration. leaving that aside, that's not what the irs should be doing. >> absolutely not. you are absolutely right. we are talking about individual and entities operating in the united states of america where our government is supposed to be designed to protect it is rights we have under the constitution when in fact they are abusing them on every level. the irs is one example as opposed to everything else happening today. we still have not received our tax exempt status, although i do hear there is a website stating we did, but we have not received communication from the irs having received our status. here we are three years later and still dealing with the issue. there has been no resolve.

c-span: politically liberal? >> guest: politically liberal, for me, at that time, meant -- was exemplified, above all, by martin luther king, jr., who i knew fairly well. i got to know him personally through a number of odd connections. in fact, i just wrote a long essay -- marshall frady has just done a book on penguin lives on dr. king. strange book, in many ways. but, in any case, politically liberal meant a sense of the excitement of the american experiment, of democracy, of its unrealized possibilities, but realizable -- at least, more realizable than they had been to that date. it meant ever-expanding the definition of the human community, for which we accept responsibility, and whose dignity we respect. and, of course, that has everything to do with desegregation and race. later in my life, the same political liberalism led me to take a very, very strong position with respect to protection of the unborn and the whole issue of abortion. i wrote back in the 1960's in "common wheel" that the great -- an artic

. >> i would say he was a liberal's liberal. an activist before it was a government activist, if you will. if you think about it, he came into politics after a successful business career. a lot of people get paid, get their paychecks from a company called adp. well, he basically took adp from a small little mom and pop shop that helped companies are payrolls to one of the most dominant payroll companies that handle sending out paychecks. when people get adp paycheck in their account or by mail, however they get it, a copy of their check, it is a company frank lautenberg helped build. took it public and took his millions after retiring and decided to enter into politics. probably the most significant thing he did in the '80s in his first ten years is the smoking ban on airlines. remember, there was a time, chris, when people smoked on airplan airplanes. >> you and i are old enough to remember that. >> those weird things, there would be a nonsmoking section and you'd see a tube of smoke coming out all over the plane. it was frank

most moral and today the first of those is almost undisputed in regional be grateful to the market liberals of west and east those to free the people through thought and deed of china in the at and indonesia and beyond and it is the greatest source of prosperity as known to man. but that the free market is a moral force for good is less well understood in this moral authority hinges on two crucial factors. first at the free market is bad because reward is proportionate to ever win the markets work those prosper in those who work hard and risk their capital succeed to make other people's lives, their customers lives better. and for most people fairness is a form of reciprocity you get out according to what you put in and for most people this is of more important than the quality and free mike -- free markets make it up but they also support personal responsibility if the state takes the responsibility away from people then they tend to be paid irresponsible. with the shabby management of the 1970's the examples that margaret thatcher held for the way people behave and the moral implications

which is a centrist-liberal place. i look at somebody like l gholston, who is a liberal and involved in politics involved in a lot of years, but who thinks about things in ways that are important and responsible and useful and informative. there are a lot of liberals that i read, critics that i think are worthwhile. and there are some liberal politicians who are, too. >> i have another left of center magazine.

what separates this from the liberal use? >> using different disciplines and all of the signs at her behest isn't particularly conservative approach at all. the argument from a conservative point of view is they need to make sure free markets operate and operate in a framework that we understand properly human behavior and one of the essences of conservatives and throughout time that we understand realities of the world and change it when necessary and reflection of those realities, rather than having duly eyed fears of what ought to be a respect to how people are. the inherent conservatism in the argument essay burkett and conservatism if you'd like, based on the realities of people in the need for us to preserve the past and embrace the best of female. for instance, institutions and the importance of institutions because institutions attract loyalty and attract a steadfastness that helps lean against irrationalities of humanity. and that again is an essentially conservative position. >> you indicated to stop moderate risk t

our younger voters more liberal? in a sense, you have more liberal positions being embraced, and you say yes, but i think that is a little bit too simple. there are other issues kind of associated with social liberalism or libertarianism -- attitudes on pornography, prostitution, abortion, and a few other issues that really have not moved that much of the past few years. i think what we really see has to do with what i think is one of the most important factors of american politics that people do not like to talk about, and it is class. it is one of my meta theories about america, and someday i will write a book about it unless someone already has, that we define vice as something that lower class people do, and to change that, the pro- legalization people have framed these debates in terms of middle american values. in other words, gay marriage is as american as apple pie today. younger voters who are exposed to the arguments with in this frame are accepting it because it is within the american tradition. whereas th
