The best thing we can do in these troubled times is open our minds to the truth. The real truth, not the truth spouted in fake news...

The theme of The Great Divide is that the populations of the democratic world, from Boston to Berlin, Vancouver to Venice, are becoming increasingly divided from within, due to a growing ideological incompatibility between modern liberalism and conservatism. This is partly due to a complex mutation in the concept of liberal democracy itself, and the resulting divide is now so wide that those holding to either philosophy on a whole range of topics:...

Can political values and biblical values blend? This is the question Tom Paxton answers in To Pray One Way is to Vote One Way. The survival of the United States depends on its professed Christian majority voting according to the same faith they express on Sunday mornings.
While many who claim to be Christian think they are in harmony with God's word, their voting habits show they are ignorant of God's teachings. Those who have a real, authentic, and...

This book is about 80 percent bible study/research and about 20 percent politics and American history. America is founded on the belief that we receive our rights from God - not man. If man chooses who gets rights and who doesn't then God help us! If God chooses, then we are all equal and are under the same system of justice and can all pursue our same unalienable rights! This is the watershed difference between our government and all or most others....

Cet ouvrage aborde le néolibéralisme sur le terrain qui, dès ses origines, fut le sien : le choix de la guerre civile en vue de réaliser le projet d'une pure société de marché. Une guerre de domination polymorphe qui sait parfois se doter des moyens de la coercition militaire et policière, mais qui se confond souvent avec l'exercice du pouvoir gouvernemental et qui se mène dans et par les institutions de l'État.
De Hayek à Thatcher et...

Although this connection extends to and encompasses society as a whole, the book focuses on the far left of the political spectrum, where the Progressives reside.

Escrito antes de la victoria de Trump, o del Brexit, señala los síntomas de una crisis del orden liberal, que podría cuajar en alternativas peligrosas.
El liberalismo ha fracasado... porque ha triunfado.
Por eso, la solución a los males de nuestro tiempo no está en "más liberalismo", aunque tampoco en una vuelta nostálgica al pasado. El New York Times o The Economist han puesto a Deneen en el centro de este debate porque dibuja en trazos...

Progressives have taught us that it doesn't take overt discrimination to make society unfair. Privilege afforded to different groups-such as whites, males, and heterosexuals-can infect our cultural institutions, creating unfair burdens for other groups.
But one form of privilege has been overlooked: progressive privilege. Today, the progressive worldview is depicted as what is normal, right, and worth celebrating by our cultural institutions. Conservatives...

America has changed. Our character has changed. The founders of our nation believed that liberty was essential to human happiness and well-being. They understood that liberty could not long be maintained in a nation that lacked a virtuous character. Pundits on all sides look to our elected leaders as either the cause or the cure to our problems. The leaders, however, are not the issue. They are simply a reflection of our national character. The real...
