{"product_id":"book-rtvj","title":"The 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 center-left and right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\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 financialized 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\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo clearsighted observer of contemporary geopolitics can afford to miss this bracing diagnosis of the West's malaise and bold agenda for renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50172250784048,"sku":"BDrtvj","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":50215907164464,"sku":"ZErtvj","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":50215907197232,"sku":"ZMrtvj","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/rtvj-cover.jpg?v=1763064421","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-rtvj","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
