How to Be a Liberal: The Story of Liberalism and the Fight for Its Life by Ian Dunt
4.0
All it takes for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing
Dunt tells us that liberals are good men - and that means white European and USA men.
He doesn't think economics is a fundamental point (other than it being rich men who have to time to ponder liberal philosophy)
He makes the excuse that liberals 'missed' the boat on issues, or didn't grasp their importance and it was only when they did that change happened.
He ignores the European empires and repression to a footnote or two
He ignores the racism and expulsion of blacks from Europe after WW1, kicking racism into a late 20th century phenomenon
He doesn't mention that European and USA constitutions are based upon capitlaist racism, claiming it is some abberation when it gets out of hand, instead of being ingrainde
What he wants is a bunch of white people (liberal philosophy is white European for him) to take credit for everything good in the world
