A central premise of the book is that both socialists & classical liberals are materialists, inasmuch as they believe money and class are fundamental motivators. In reality, things like dignity and pride and tradition matter a whole lot more than we realize.pic.twitter.com/lp802WHX25
Anyway, I was expecting another book lamenting "identity politics," and this was so much deeper & more thought provoking than that. The podcast will soon propagate on @itunes and @Stitcher, but you can listen to it right now, here! http://www.mattklewis.com/?p=10060
Great discussion, but cure for alienation, isolation, meaninglessness—what Tocqueville called radical individualism—is not more central govt programs, but revival of Tocqueville’s “little platoons,” building out connections from individual to family to school/church to community.
I'm halfway through Political Order and Political Decay and look forward to reading this as well. Fukuyama is insightful and considers a wide variety of factors in his findings which sets him apart from a lot of other people who cover these subjects
His book The End of History was great.
Nice!!
This was awesome. I can’t wait to pick up his book. Thanks for sharing!
