Liberalism and the Free Society in 2021

Description

In 2021, the world is emerging from an extraordinary health crisis. It now confronts an extraordinary freedom crisis.

Brad Lips’s Liberalism and the Free Society in 2021 takes a sober look at how institutions of liberal democracy are now tested-in the U.S. and worldwide-by lockdowns, cronyism, cancel culture, and more. Exploring trends from the Global Index of Economic Mentality and drawing insights from an international network of experts and activists, Liberalism and the Free Society in 2021 offers readers a deeper understanding of the fragility of freedom’s future. Importantly, the book also shares reasons for hope as well as a path forward for building a larger coalition around the timeless values that sustain free societies.

On the 21st of September 2021, Mannkal hosted a launch of Liberalism and the Free Society in 2021 at which Brad Lips addressed the room via Zoom. Below is an excerpt of his remarks:
