Should You Be among Liberalism’s Discontents?

Abstract

In this review essay, I consider two recent books that have something to say about liberalism. In Liberalism and Its Discontents, Francis Fukuyama offers a spirited defense of the doctrine. In Prophet of Discontent, Jared Anthony Loggins and Andrew Douglas engage the though of Martin Luther King Jr. in ways that encourage us to move “beyond” liberalism.
