Suicide of the West

This book explores the perilous state of democracy in America and other Western societies. The author argues that we are surrendering to populism, nationalism, and other forms of tribalism, and losing the will to defend the values and institutions that sustain freedom and prosperity. Drawing on political history, social science, economics, and pop culture, he makes the case that we need to renew our sense of gratitude for our political virtues and rediscover the ideals that led us to democratic capitalism.
