What Happened to Liberal Democracy?

What Happened to Liberal Democracy?

Daron Acemoglu ISBN : 9781805228646 Sayfa Sayısı : 404 Ebat : 152x232 mm
Once, liberal democracy was the future.
 
Now, it increasingly looks like the past. So, what happened?
 
From its inception, liberalism offered a glittering promise of shared prosperity, equality, democratic values and the free pursuit of knowledge. At first, it flourished. And then it faltered, eroding at the hands of elitism, intolerance and rising autocracy.
 
Nobel laureate Daron Acemoglu charts the meteoric rise of liberal democracy as it pursued –and delivered on– its core promises, examining how it failed to adapt, and why ultimately, when faced with a post-industrial digitalized world, liberalism turned its back on those it was supposed to lift up.
 
Looking at rapid advances in technology, shifts in regulatory environments, global political history and economics, Acemoglu lucidly lays out the successes and failures of our most important political system and envisions a way forward: a new theory of working-class liberalism that lays the groundwork for how we can –and must– remake liberal democracy before it’s too late.
