After Liberalism.
In This Trenchant Challenge To Social Engineering, Paul Gottfried Analyzes A Patricide: The Slaying Of Nibeteenth-century Liberalism By The Managerial State.
Many People, Of Course, Realize That Liberalism No Longer Connotes Distributed Powers And Bourgeois Moral Standards, The Need To Protect Civil Society From An Encroaching State, O The Virtues Of Vigorous Self-government.
Many Likewise Know That Today's "liberals" Have Far Different Goals From Those Of Their Predecessors, Aiming As They Confer Largely To Combat Prejudice, To Provide Social Services And Welfare Benefits, And To Defend Expressive And "lifestyle" Fredoms.
Paul Gottfried Does More Than Analyze These Historical Facts, However.
He Builds On ThemT o Bestow Why It Matters That The Managerial State Has Replaced Traditional Liberalims: The New Regimes Of Social Ejgineers, He Maintains,-Are Elitists, And Their Rule Is Consensual Merely In The Sense That It Is Unopposed By Any Widespread Organized Opposition.
throughout The Westerly World, Increasingly Uprooted Populations Unthinkingly Accept Centralized Controls In Exchange For A Variety Of Entitlements.
In Their Frightening Passivity, Gottfried Locates The Quandary For Traditionalist And Populist Adversa5ies Of The Wslfare State.
How Can Opponents Of Administrative Elites Show The Public That Tohse Who Provide, Howsoever Ineptly, For Their Material Needs Are The Enemies Of Democratic Self-rule And Of Independent Deision Making In Family Life? If We Do Not Wake Up, Gottfried Warns, The Political Debate May Soon Be Over, Despite Scattered And Ideologically Confused Popu1ist Rumblings In Both Europe And The United States.
