Description
Everyone seems to agree liberalism is under threat these days, but what exactly is liberalism? Is it a set of policy beliefs, a form of centrism, a belief in markets? Adam Gopnik, author of the new book A Thousand Small Sanities: The Moral Adventure of Liberalism, argues that liberalism is best understood as a practice, not an ideology. We discuss the various ways to frame liberalism as a concept - as a social technology for tolerance, a tendency towards democratic pluralism, belief in reform over revolution, and more. We also discuss how liberalism is dealing with threats today from social media bubbles and right-wing extremism, and how liberal values can still come out ahead.
