Description
Has liberalism failed because it has succeeded?
Of the three dominant ideologies of the 20th 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.

Why Liberalism Failed
This is a book you will argue and disagree with, whether you are Liberal or Conservative or somewhere else on the political spectrum. Deneen puts forth many interesting ideas, some true, and some I think not true, bit what is undeniable is that this is a book that accurately describes certain aspects of the Age of Liberalism in which we live, and also proposes a variety of interesting alternatives and solutions for what ails us. I recommend that you read this book. 5/5

The manifesto of a lunatic
I am not certain whether it was the narrator or the author that was more annoying. Between the jargon salad, yelling and lack of pauses between sentences, this book was hard to take. They lost me when trying to call out the deep state.
The author rightly identifies conservatism and progressivism as two separate waves of liberalism, he merges them or focuses on progressivism alone when it serves his critique.
He also name drops pre-liberal philosophers familiar to second-year political science majors such as Socrates, Plato, Augustine, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke and Mill in a way that might lead one to think that he didn't continue political thought in third year.
There are many valid critiques of Liberalism. The author seemed to be close at times, but generally came off as a bit of a disjointedclunatic. Give this title a pass.
