"I think the need for a kind of post liberal vision is becoming really a very, quite evident that. It seems to me the dissolution of the liberal order as is taking place at a much more accelerated rate than i even expected," he says. "How does one articulate that in a post liberal age? I think that's...a project."
Political Scientist and author Patrick Deneen of the University of Notre Dame talks about his book Why Liberalism Failed with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. By liberalism, Deneen means the modern enterprise--the push for self-actualization free of the constraints of tradition, family, and religion that typifies modern culture. He argues that both the left and the right have empowered the state and reduced liberty. He argues for a smaller, more local, more artisanal economy and a return to the virtues of self-control and self-mastery.
