1. 1. Michael Harrington

   

   This biography traces the subject’s evolution from a Catholic, working-class background into a leading voice of American democratic socialism, documenting his intellectual development, political activism, and public interventions—most notably his exposé of persistent poverty that redirected national attention to economic inequality—and follows his organizing work, debates with Cold War anticommunists and leftist critics, and efforts to rebuild a non‑Stalinist socialist movement while assessing his influence on social policy, party politics, and the later revival of democratic socialism in the United States.
