The Rise and Fall of Hyper-Liberalism

This chapter explores the evolution of hyper-liberalism as a lens through which to view socio-political changes since the early 1990s, especially after the Soviet Union's collapse. It examines the historical roots of liberal ideologies, their intersections with Marxism, and the impact of key figures like Fukuyama and Kojev. The discussion highlights the troubling trends that have emerged as liberal ideologies have become more entrenched, alongside a reevaluation of their future amidst rising illiberalism.
