To be sure, liberal intellectuals have not ceased to be critical of business civilization or, on occasion, of big business. But a variety of other issues foreign policy, urban development, civil rights, education, and the like have become more central, and where these issues are concerned, liberals do not always find themselves in a simple antagonistic confront with big business, as they did in the past. Their criticisms of business civilization now rest more on cultural than economic grounds. The last thing they are interested in is the restoration of competition as the solution to the evils that they see.
