Liberalism and Its Discontents by Francis Fukuyama

4.0

Fukuyama is obviously a political theorist, academic and a learned person. He's written plenty on the subject and this tome is a more contemporary book on current affairs. It is short and undeservedly so as the author could have fleshed out much of his debate by providing examples of his debate. Such as fleshing out details of identity politics, critical race theory, replacement theory and why the left are in a limbo and unable to self-correct and attract conservatives.

I am glad he raises hard questions but would like him to talk more about "moderation" and how we can reflect on the current US political mess. What can bring about successful rejection of Trumpism so that the GOP can return to its roots?
