Has liberalism failed because it has succeeded? "Why Liberalism Failed offers cogent insights into the loss of meaning and community that many in the West feel, issues that liberal democracies ignore at their own peril."-President Barack Obama "Deneen's book is valuable because it focuses on today's central issue. The important debates now are not about policy. They are about the basic values and structures of our social order."-David Brooks, New York Times Of the three dominant ideologies of the twentieth century-fascism, communism, and liberalism-only the last remains. This has created a peculiar situation in which liberalism's proponents tend to forget that it is an ideology and not the natural end-state of human political evolution. As Patrick Deneen argues in this provocative book, liberalism is built on a foundation of contradictions: it trumpets equal rights while fostering incomparable material inequality; its legitimacy rests on consent, yet it discourages civic commitments in favor of privatism; and in its pursuit of individual autonomy, it has given rise to the most far-reaching, comprehensive state system in human history. Here, Deneen offers an astringent warning that the centripetal forces now at work on our political culture are not superficial flaws but inherent features of a system whose success is generating its own failure.

  1. Intressant och ovanlig analys
    Lars Mårtensson, 28 november 2019

    En kritisk analys av Liberalismens tillkortakommanden. Ett beskrivning av hur Liberalismen har förvandlat dagens västerländska samhälle till ett "själlöst", ytligt och individualistiskt samhälle utan vare sig kontakt med historien eller naturen - och detta utan att använda varken extremvänsterns eller extremhögerns vulgära argument.
    En läsvärd bok som beskriver den "lögn" vi alla lever i idag - om vi nu vågar ta till oss det.
