Why Liberalism Failed

In this provocative analysis, Patrick Deneen argues that liberalism, often seen as the natural progression of human politics, is in fact an ideology built on fundamental contradictions. He examines how liberalism champions equal rights while creating vast inequality, and how its pursuit of individual autonomy has paradoxically led to an expansive state. Deneen warns that the current political challenges are not minor issues, but rather inherent flaws of a system whose very success is leading to its downfall.
