Liberalism is Not Enough features "the memoirs of two radicals, including their years in the Communist Party." Part one, written by Marian Rubins Davis's is organized by her various travels from Europe, America, and finally to Brazil from the 1920s to the 1930s. She discusses her viewpoints and experiences during these travels, including her thoughts on political and economical philosophy, and conversations with other political activists of the time. Part two, Horace Davis's section of the book, begins with a history of his family beginning in the early 1900's and then follows his evolution from liberal to radical in the 1960s. He speaks on his experiences in various labor and resistance movements and his thoughts on liberalism, both positive and negative"...Davis wrote two books for Labor Research Associates, one on shoes and one on steel." He concludes with expanding on his philosophy and how it differed from Davis's, despite them both agreeing that Marx and his philosophies were essential to their worldview. - Quotes from online.
