Regime Change
Classical liberalism promised to overthrow the old aristocracy, creating an order in which individuals could create their own identities and futures. But it has also demolished the traditions and institutions that nourished ordinary people and created a new and exploitative ruling class. This class's economic libertarianism, progressive values, and technocratic commitments have led them to rule for the benefit of the "few" at the expense of the "many," precipitating our current political crises. Patrick Deneen proposes a bold plan for replacing the liberal elite and the ideology that created and empowered them. Drawing on the oldest lessons of the western tradition but recognizing the changed conditions that arise in liberal modernity, Deneen offers a roadmap for these changes, offering hope for progress after "progress" and liberty after liberalism.
