description: "Richard Hofstadter was an American historian and public intellectual. Hofstadter was the DeWitt Clinton Professor of American History at Columbia University. Rejecting his earlier historical materialist approach to history, in the 1950s he came closer to the concept of \"consensus history\", and was epitomized by some of his admirers as the \"iconic historian of postwar liberal consensus.\" Others see in his work an early critique of the one-dimensional society, since he was equally critical of socialist and capitalist models of society, and bemoaned the \"consensus\" within the society as \"bounded by the horizons of property and entrepreneurship\", criticizing the \"hegemonic liberal capitalist culture running throughout the course of American history\"."
