It became the basis for the mainstream politics of centre-left and right.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePhilip Pilkington argues that this vision was always delusional and is now dying. It is based on a doctrinaire and unrealistic form of liberalism and has given rise to hollowed-out financialised economies and disintegrating societies that can barely even reproduce their population or meet their energy needs. The US and UK find themselves ill-equipped to compete with China and other non-liberal states within an emerging post-liberal order in which what really matters is industrial capacity, realpolitik and military strength. Only by abandoning our liberal delusions and advancing our own brand of hard-headed post-liberalism can the West survive.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNo clear-sighted observer of contemporary geopolitics can afford to miss this bracing diagnosis of the West’s malaise and bold agenda for renewal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlso available as an audiobook.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction – Navigating Metahistory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 – What is Liberalism?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 – Liberalism’s Different Modes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 – The Rise of Hyperliberalism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 – The Dialectic of Liberalism and Illiberalism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5 – Dispatches from the Traverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6 – Blood and Steel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: Demographics and Destiny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8 – Deindustrialisation and the Rise of Funny Money\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9 – Madness: Commercial and Civilisational\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10 – Distorted Diplomatic Dreams of a Universal History with a Cosmopolitan Purpose\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11 – Neo-Pagan Ritual and the Big Green Blob\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConclusion – Our Postliberal Future: A Manifesto\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Economics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Economics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Economics%20%5BKC%5D%22\"\u003eKC\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52165806358808,"sku":"9781509566228","price":12.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509566228.jpg?v=1781100923","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-collapse-of-global-liberalism-and-the-emergence-of-the-post-liberal-world-order-paperback-softback-9781509566228","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
