In The Retreat of Western Liberalism, Edward Luce explores the decline of Western dominance and the crisis facing liberal democracy, emphasizing that recent political upheavals are symptoms of deeper issues rather than isolated causes. Through detailed reporting and analysis, Luce examines the rise of populism in the US and Europe, warning of the consequences of complacency and misunderstanding about the history and foundation of the West, while offering insights into how supporters of enlightenment values can respond to these challenges.
