{"product_id":"collapse-of-global-liberalism","title":"Collapse of Global Liberalism","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1990s, a vision emerged of a frictionless world of globalization in which the West would become ever richer on the basis of a tech-based service economy, all underpinned by a rules-based liberal international order. It became the basis for the mainstream politics of centre-left and right.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePhilip Pilkington argues that this vision was always delusional and is now dying. It is based on a doctrinaire and unrealistic form of liberalism and has given rise to hollowed-out financialised economies and disintegrating societies that can barely even reproduce their population or meet their energy needs. The US and UK find themselves ill-equipped to compete with China and other non-liberal states within an emerging post-liberal order in which what really matters is industrial capacity, realpolitik and military strength. Only by abandoning our liberal delusions and advancing our own brand of hard-headed post-liberalism can the West survive.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNo clear-sighted observer of contemporary geopolitics can afford to miss this bracing diagnosis of the West’s malaise and bold agenda for renewal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlso available as an audiobook.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54250130112856,"sku":"9781509566211","price":62.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781509566211_3f44631e-f7ed-4a1a-bbc0-1559e1bb24ab.jpg?v=1778655612","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/collapse-of-global-liberalism","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
