Description

Democracy Against Liberalism: Its Rise and Fall by Aviezer Tucker The resurgence of authoritarian populism poses a significant threat to liberal democracy. In this thought-provoking analysis, Aviezer Tucker explores the intersection of historical and contemporary factors that have led to this crisis. He examines how economic instability has fueled social unrest, allowing demagogues to exploit deep-seated political passions. Tucker argues that a 'liberalism without nostalgia' is necessary to counter the rise of neo-illiberal democracy. This approach involves implementing policies that can dampen down populist fervour and strengthen liberal institutional barriers against it. A nuanced understanding of this complex issue is essential for navigating the challenges facing modern democracies. This book offers an incisive and innovative analysis of the current state of democratic politics, making it a valuable resource for readers interested in social science, history, and political theory.
