Publisher's Summary

From Brexit Britain to Trump's America to Orban's Hungary, liberal values are under attack.

In a soaring narrative that stretches from the English Civil War to the 2008 financial crash and the rise of populism, the journalist Ian Dunt tells the epic story of liberalism, from its birth in the fight against absolute monarchy to the modern-day resistance against the new populism.

This book explains the political ideas which underpin the modern world. But it is also something much more than that - it is a rallying cry for those who still believe in freedom and reason.

Essential reading

Ian sneakily hid a history book inside this political book, but understanding the history of liberalism offers the reader a greater insight liberalism and how it functions today.
(I'd also say it's a far compelling read than the average history book - I say that as someone with a degree in the subject, so read quite a few).

By the end, how he details the horrors of some very recent events, dropping down from a macro level to an individual level and the horrors they experienced is gut-wrenching.

outstanding book.
