Description
Book Synopsis: From Notre Dame professor and author of Why Liberalism Failed comes a provocative call for replacing the tyranny of the self-serving liberal elite with conservative leaders aligned with the interests of the working class.
Classical liberalism promised to overthrow the old aristocracy, creating an order in which individuals could create their own identities and futures. To some extent it did—but it has also demolished the traditions and institutions that nourished ordinary people and created a new and exploitative ruling class. This class's economic libertarianism, progressive values, and technocratic commitments have led them to rule for the benefit of the “few” at the expense of the “many,” precipitating our current political crises.
In Regime Change, Patrick Deneen proposes a bold plan for replacing the liberal elite and the ideology that created and empowered them. Grass-roots populist efforts to destroy the ruling class altogether are naive; what’s needed is the strategic formation of a new elite devoted to a “pre-postmodern conservatism” and aligned with the interest of the “many.” Their top-down efforts to form a new governing philosophy, ethos, and class could transform our broken regime from one that serves only the so-called meritocrats.
Drawing on the oldest lessons of the western tradition but recognizing the changed conditions that arise in liberal modernity, Deneen offers a roadmap for these changes, offering hope for progress after “progress” and liberty after liberalism.
Details
Are you tired of the self-serving liberal elite that only works for the benefit of a select few? Introducing Regime Change: Toward a Postliberal Future, the groundbreaking book by Patrick Deneen. Deneen, a highly respected professor and author, presents a compelling argument for replacing the ruling class with conservative leaders who truly understand and are aligned with the interests of the working class.
Classical liberalism promised to empower individuals to shape their own destinies, but it ended up tearing apart the traditions and institutions that supported ordinary people. In turn, it created an exploitative ruling class that prioritizes economic libertarianism, progressive values, and technocratic ideals. This has resulted in political crises that we see today.
Regime Change offers a bold and strategic plan to replace the current ruling elite. Deneen argues that grassroots movements aiming to overthrow the ruling class are well-intentioned but lack practicality. What we need instead is the formation of a new elite, rooted in a "pre-postmodern conservatism" that upholds the interests of the majority.
By constructing a new governing philosophy, ethos, and class, we can transform our broken regime into one that serves not just the meritocrats, but the "many." Deneen draws upon wisdom from the oldest lessons of the western tradition while acknowledging the challenges of modernity. With this roadmap, he provides hope for progress beyond the limitations of liberalism.
