Return of the Strong Gods

This audiobook explores the decline of the post-World War II "open society" ideal, which aimed to create a borderless, prosperous world free from old attachments to nation, clan, and religion. As populism and nationalism resurge across America and Europe, R. R. Reno offers insight into how the collapse of this consensus is revealing the reemergence of powerful loyalties that connect people to their homeland and each other. He examines how the ongoing push for openness has transformed into rigid dogmas, threatening the social fabric rooted in family, faith, and nation amid fears of societal dissolution.
