Description

'A tour de force.' - THE SECRET BARRISTER

'Urgent and engaging .' - NICK COHEN, OBSERVER COLUMNIST

'A phenomenal history from a truly big mind.' - DAVID SCHNEIDER, WRITER

'Required reading for anyone interested in politics and philosophy.' - PROSPECT

In this groundbreaking new book, political journalist Ian Dunt tells the story of liberalism from its birth in the fight against absolute monarchy to the modern-day resistance against the new populism.

In a soaring narrative that stretches from the battlefields of the English Civil War to the 2008 financial crash and beyond, this vivid, page-turning book explains the political ideas which underpin the modern world.

But it is also much more. Written by the author of How Westminster Works... and Why It Doesn't and host of the Origin Story podcast, How to be a Liberal is a call to action for those who believe in freedom and reason.

Among the topics dealt with are:

- The birth of liberalism with Rene Descartes

- Radical ideas of freedom in the English Civil War

- Mob rule during French Revolution

- Liberal values in the American War of Independence

- Benjamin Constant's philosophical revolution

- John Stuart Mill, Harriet Taylor and liberalism's great love affair

- The Nazis and Soviets snuff out individual rights

- Building a liberal world with John Maynard Keynes

- The rise of identity politics and groupthink

- The viral threat from social media

- Liberalism's failures, from feminism to the rust belt

- From the US to Hungary, nationalism sweeps the world

- Why we fight for our values - the rebellion begins here

Hailed as 'courageous' by LBC's James O'Brien and as a 'tour de force' by the Secret Barrister, How to be a Liberal is both a history of the growth of individual liberty and a rally cry to turn back the new populism threatening democratic values and personal freedoms.
