   Bernard Chazelle, a computer scientist at Princeton University, writes in his devastating essay, Saving The American Left: The Case For A New Progressive Creed: "By virtually any measure, the United States is the least progressive nation in the developed world.
   ...
   Chazelle notes "palpable excitement out there on the American Left," but, he quips, "it is a pity there is no there there."
   ...
   Chazelle: The American left is in the throes of an existential crisis.Some say it's a failure of nerve, others a loss of belief.It is the latter.Neoliberalism has sucked the oxygen out of the left by deflating the political sphere to the economic one.The left must articulate a new creed around three principles: empowerment (the economic is ancillary to the political); social justice (the disadvantaged have an unconditional claim upon the collectivity); and decency (the state may not humiliate anyone).
   
   The goal, Chazelle continues, is a society that, first, preserves equal liberties; second, attends to the needs of the disadvantaged.All citizens are granted an unconditional claim upon the collectivity to be accorded the minimum resources necessary for a life of dignity and a genuine sense of belonging.

   Biography: Bernard Chazelle (born November 5, 1955) is a professor of computer science at Princeton University.Although he is best known for his invention of the soft heap data structure and the most asymptotically efficient known algorithm for finding minimum spanning trees, most of his work is in computational geometry, where he has found many of the best-known algorithms, such as linear-time triangulation of a simple polygon, as well as many useful complexity results, such as lower bound techniques based on discrepancy theory.
   
   Chazelle originally grew up in Paris, France, where he received his bachelors degree and masters degree in applied mathematics at the Ecole des Mines de Paris in 1977.Then, at the age of 22, he came to Yale University in the United States, where he received his Ph.D. in computer science.He went on to claim important research positions at institutions such as Carnegie Mellon, Brown, NEC, Xerox PARC, and the Paris institutions Ecole Normale Supérieure, Ecole Polytechnique, and INRIA.As of 2004, he has 191 published articles, 93 of which are journal articles, and published two books.He has received 18 grants, 12 of which are from the National Science Foundation.He is a fellow of the ACM, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the World Innovation Foundation, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, and NEC, as well as a member of the European Academy of Sciences.
