Key Ideas from Patrick Deneen's Book

Patrick Deneen's book 'Regime Change' delves into the concept of transitioning towards a post-liberal future. Deneen identifies a shift from industrial elites to managerial elites who rule through policy, abstract reasoning, and information control. These managerial elites are detached from local communities, leading to a prejudice against the working class. Deneen critiques modern conservatism, asserting that it often aligns more with classical liberalism. He highlights the tension between Platonic and Aristotelian political philosophies.
