In this brilliant guide to modern European political ideas and
thinkers spans the twentieth century, the author illuminates both
the twentieth-century's ideological extremes and how Europeans
built lasting liberal democracies in the second half of the
century. This book is the first major account of political thought
in twentieth-century Europe, both West and East, to appear since
the end of the Cold War. Skillfully blending intellectual,
political, and cultural history, Jan-Werner Muller elucidates the
ideas that shaped the period of ideological extremes before 1945
and the liberalization of West European politics after the Second
World War. He also offers vivid portraits of famous as well as
unjustly forgotten political thinkers and the movements and
institutions they inspired. Muller pays particular attention to
ideas advanced to justify fascism and how they relate to the
special kind of liberal democracy that was created in postwar
Western Europe. He also explains the impact of the 1960s and
neoliberalism, ending with a critical assessment of today's
self-consciously post-ideological age.
