What is post-liberalism, and why has it gained influence on the American right?
In this episode of The Economist Next Door, host Paul Mueller speaks with James M. Patterson and Thomas D. Howes, authors of Why Post-Liberalism Failed. They explore the intellectual roots of post-liberalism and its connections to Catholic integralism and European reactionary thought.
The guests discuss the movement's critique of liberalism and the role of figures such as Patrick Deneen and JD Vance. They also examine the movement's relationship to conspiracy theories, anti-Semitism, economic nationalism, and historical authoritarian movements.
What can the history of post-liberalism teach us about the future of liberal democracy and the changing ideas of the American right? Listen to the full conversation to find out.
