From a Notre Dame professor comes a provocative call for replacing the tyranny of the self-serving liberal elite with conservative leaders aligned with the interests of the working class.
What The Reviewers Say
For a book that’s ostensibly about the oppressively liberal American political system, a surprising number of pages are devoted to the ins and outs of what happens on elite college campuses.
Despite his weakness for abstraction and overstatement, [Deneen] is a serious historian of ideas.
Deneen’s disregard for details, among them the awkward fact that no one actually defends the position he attributes to practically everyone, is unfortunately characteristic. The post-liberals are dramatic, even hysterical, stylists, prone to sweeping pronouncements about the entirety of culture since the dawn of time.
The newer book contains all the faults of Why Liberalism Failed but adds one: dishonesty.
