Liberalism and Socialism Mortal Enemies or Embittered Kin

Liberalism and Socialism: Mortal Enemies or Embittered Kin?
English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030795365 | 278 Pages | PDF | 3 MB
In times of pandemic and global economic crisis, little more than a decade after the last, there are serious questions about how the liberal order can stand, who its friends are, and what the future will look like. This edited collection provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and stakes at play in the dispute between liberalism and socialism. It explores the 21st century appeal of socialism, particularly to millennials and other relatively young citizens, and shows why modern classical liberalism and neoliberalism have generated tepid support, leading to the resurgence of socialism after it was thought dead and buried due to the dramatic failures of statist models in 1989.
