The Post-War Consensus and the Shift towards Openness

This chapter delves into the post-World War II consensus that promoted ideas of openness, innovation, and preventing the return of authoritarian regimes. It critiques the current mentality that views political movements as irrational and defends the consensus as a protector against threats like fascism. The discussion contrasts perspectives on contemporary political philosophies, immigration crisis management, and the importance of restoring true and ennobling loves in political life.
