Remaking the American Polity

Building on the success of his book, Why Liberalism Failed, and his accompanying lecture at the Center for 全球 Humanities, 帕特里克•迪尼 returns to UNE for a lecture based on his critically-acclaimed new book, 政权更迭, in which he argues for a peaceful transition from today’s self-serving liberal elitism to a postliberal form of governance that serves the common good. After reviewing the limitations and pitfalls of 自由主义—which inherently pits progressives and conservatives against one another—Deneen will share his vision for a better polis and better America for us all.
