“Liberalism has always had its critics. But in 2018, Patrick Deneen went a step further: he declared liberalism a failed project — and explained how in Why Liberalism Failed. Since then, multiple obituaries for liberalism have been written, and Postliberalism, which calls for a replacement of the liberal order that shapes the West, has become a formidable movement on the right. Nevertheless, as if it had never heard a report of its own demise, liberalism endures today as a political order, political philosophy, and a way of life. Yet Deneen is not the first to give a failing grade to liberalism.” (01/15/26)
