Omschrijving

A brilliant, original book on the crisis of modern liberalism. . . a must read to understand our present discontents

A brilliant, original book on the crisis of modern liberalism. . . a must read to understand our present discontents

If you read one book to understand the state of the world today, make it this one. Aphoristic, counter-intuitive and amusing, a single page provides more insight into populism than libraries of books on Brexit or Trump. . . Extraordinary and compelling. . . Its subject matter is bleak but the deep learning, humour and humanity of its authors shines through

A brilliant explanation of the mess we are in. . . written with wonderfully dry wit

An important book that fizzes with ideas. . . There is a smart insight or elegant paradox on almost every page. . . This book poses in stark terms the dilemma for those who took for granted the ideas that created the postwar western world

Sharp, polemical and ideas-packed

Compelling and witty

An unflinchingly honest explanation of what has gone wrong in the west - and the east - since 1989

A bracing analysis of post-Cold War politics, upending cherished assumptions and forcing us to look afresh at the complex dialectic of liberalism and illiberalism

This is a book about imitation by a couple of utterly inimitable authors. It is the most original explanation I've read of the self-destruction of the liberal West as universal utopia. Scathing yet fair

Witty, incisive, devastating: an unforgettable analysis of why the light of liberalism failed in Eastern Europe, and why resentment towards imitation of the West has fueled the furies of the populist revolt

Ivan Krastev (Author)
Ivan Krastev is a fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna, a contributing opinion writer for the International New York Times and, most recently, the author of the widely acclaimed After Europe.

Stephen Holmes (Author)
Stephen Holmes is Professor of Law at NYU School of Law and the author of many books on liberalism.
