A TIMES BEST PHILOSOPHY & IDEAS BOOK OF 2022 A defence of
liberalism by the renowned political philosopher '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'
Guardian 'One of the West's most interesting public intellectuals'
Times 'Hard to think of a better case for liberal centrism' FT
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, Francis Fukuyama sets out the cases for and
against its classical premises: observing the rule of law,
independence of judges, means over ends, and most of all,
tolerance. Pithy, to the point, and ever pertinent, this is
political dissection at its very best.
