Review: Nowadays, everyone shall read this book. Masterfully written.
Review: Francis Fukuyama is one of the authors that I generally like all that he writes. I trust his opinions and views as they are well researched and grounded, even if the book is more for a popular audience. This book is really written for a general audience, rather than an academic one. Fukuyama does a good job defining classic liberalism, how it is related to neoliberalism, and the turn against rationality and classic liberalism and the rise of (national) identity politics. The book is less than 200 pages, so it is not a difficult or long read. It is not intended to be scholarly. It is more Fukuyama's impressions about our current society. For the expert, it may not be deep enough, but for a casual reader, it is a good overview of the attack on classical liberalism.

*by I***R on 3 August 2024*

Auch wenn wir mittlerweile viel über den Liberalismus wissen: dieses Werk ordnet die Gedanken und sorgt für einen echten Überblick. Fukuyama erklärt die Welt in einer klaren Sprache, behandelt das Thema umfassend, systematisch, leicht verständlich und einprägsam. Er lichtet den Nebel, der im politisch-medialen Diskurs nicht erst seit gestern wabert und zu einer systematischen (absichtlichen?) Verwechslung und Vermengung von Begriffen führt und damit eine kognitive Verunsicherung zeitigt, selbst dann, wenn es beispielsweise um banale Begriffe wie Menschenrechte (Universalismus) geht oder den praktischen (und offensichtlichen) Unterschied zwischen internationalem und nationalem Recht. Die Originalfassung ist leicht verständlich - bis auf ein paar Wörter, die man im Internet findet, aber nicht unbedingt in einem klassischen Wörterbuch. Nur einen Satz habe ich nicht verstanden: "Liberal universalism at one level flies in the face of the nature of human sociability." Vielleicht handelt es sich um einen Druckfehler: lies statt flies? (S. 132) Fukuyamas Botschaft: "If liberalism is to be preserved as a form of government, we need to understand the sources of these discontents." Dazu gehören auch Themen wie "Nationalstaat", in linkselitären Kreisen ein Tabuthema, mitunter eine Fiktion. Denn: [The] "tendency [of the liberals] to downplay national identity has allowed the extreme right to claim this ground." Fukuyamas Buch ist sehr kompakt, 150 Seiten, geht nicht in die Tiefe und bedient nicht jene Leser, die Ausführlicheres erfahren möchten. Auch die kurzen Erwähnungen verschiedener Denker und ihrer Hauptthesen dürfte etwas vereinfacht daherkommen. Als erster Eindruck über den Liberalismus ein ideales Buch. Für Anspruchsvollere eher nicht. Wenn hier etwas doch etwas zu kurz kommt, dann der Wokismus (ist nicht unbedingt das Thema des Buches, diesen Aspekt erörtert der Autor unter Identity Politics). Eine passende Ergänzung wäre vielleicht das anspruchsvolle Buch von Pauline Voss "Generation Krokodilstränen", eine philosophische Abhandlung über Identitätspolitik und postmoderne Theorien, vor allem über Michel Foucault.
