In the 1990s, a vision emerged of a frictionless world of globalization in which the West would become ever richer on the basis of a tech-based service economy, all underpinned by a rules-based liberal international order. It became the basis for the mainstream politics of centre-left and right.
A Critical Diagnosis of Liberalism’s Decline
Philip Pilkington argues that this vision was always delusional and is now dying. According to him, it is based on a doctrinaire and unrealistic form of liberalism that has led to:
- Hollowed-out financialised economies
- Disintegrating societies that can barely:
- Reproduce their population
- Meet their energy needs
The US and UK, Pilkington asserts, are ill-equipped to compete with China and other non-liberal states. These nations are thriving within an emerging post-liberal order, where success hinges on:
- Industrial capacity
- Realpolitik
- Military strength
A Bold Agenda for Renewal
Pilkington emphasizes that only by abandoning liberal delusions and advancing a hard-headed post-liberalism can the West hope to survive.
No clear-sighted observer of contemporary geopolitics can afford to miss this bracing diagnosis of the West’s malaise and bold vision for renewal.
