Liberalism and Its Discontents

by Francis Fukuyama
Liberalism and Its Discontents
Liberalism and Its Discontents

Dissecting liberalism's complexities and modern challenges.

"Liberalism and Its Discontents" is a thought-provoking dive into contemporary political and social discourse. If you're feeling perplexed by the current state of political polarization or curious about liberalism's future trajectory, Fukuyama's incisive analysis could offer you both context and perspective. It’s a read that promises to intellectually engage anyone keen on understanding or critiquing the underpinnings of modern liberal democracies.

Description

A defence of liberalism by the renowned political philosopher Francis Fukuyama. "We need more thinkers as wise as Fukuyama digging their fingers into the soil of our predicament," The New York Times; "A brilliantly acute summary of the way some aspects of liberal thought have consumed themselves," The Guardian; "One of the West's most interesting public intellectuals," The Times; "Hard to think of a better case for liberal centrism," Financial Times. Liberalism — the comparatively mild-mannered sibling to the more ardent camps of nationalism and socialism — has never been so divisive as today. From Putin's populism, the Trump administration, and autocratic rulers in democracies the world over, it has both thrived and failed under identity politics, authoritarianism, social media and a weakened free press the world over. Since its inception following the post-Reformation wars, liberalism has come under attack from conservatives and progressives alike, and today is dismissed by many as an 'obsolete doctrine'. In this brilliant and concise exposition, Fukuyama sets out the cases for and against liberalism, examining the rule of law, the independence of judges, means over ends, and above all, tolerance. Pithy, to the point, and ever pertinent, this is political dissection at its best.
