The Collapse of Global Liberalism
Jul 11, 2024
Philip Pilkington, a political economist and journalist, delves into the impending collapse of global liberalism. He argues that the current interpretations of liberalism misrepresent its complex history, rooted in dismantling unjust hierarchies. The discussion highlights systemic failures within the post-World War II order and the paradoxes of liberal thought, including its tensions with Marxism. Pilkington also critically examines hyper-liberalism's rise since the 1990s and explores what may come next in a world increasingly resistant to liberal ideals.
