Uneasy with Democratic Capitalism
Brian Anderson has a new book out, Democratic Capitalism and Its Discontents. It looks like a fitting title in our age of prosperity combined with insecurity. Here’s some of the book description:
Despite the fall of its ideological enemies—the political messianisms of communism and national socialism—democratic capitalism faces extraordinary challenges in the new millennium, argues City Journal editor and South Park Conservatives author Brian C. Anderson in this thought-provoking new book. Not only has a fanatical form of Islam distrupted the peace and prosperity of the postcommunist era, which some had wrongly heralded as a liberal-democratic “end of history”; our free societies also remain haunted by internal demons—egalitarian fantasies, moral libertinism, an arid and unsustainable secularism, a suicide of culture.
Like his previous book South Park Conservatives it should be thought-provoking, even with a less flashy title. Two years ago I interviewed Anderson.
