Description
The Light that Failed: A Reckoning by Ivan Krastev and Stephen Holmes A landmark work of political psychology that transforms our understanding of the crisis of liberalism. In this thought-provoking book, two pre-eminent intellectuals explore how the supposed end of history led to an Age of Imitation, where the West's loss of balance has been mirrored in Eastern Europe. The authors argue that the transformation of Eastern European countries gave rise to a bitter repudiation of liberalism, and that this phenomenon is linked to resentment at the post-1989 imperative to become Westernized. Through their analysis, they shed light on the extraordinary history of our current era, where populist xenophobia has taken hold. This book offers a unique perspective on the crisis of liberalism and its implications for global politics.
