Gray and The end of Liberalism

Starting a New Year is a good excuse for seeing with fresh eyes what we are going through in our world. Liberalism, the complex set of ideas that are behind the liberal democracies we have enjoyed in the West for almost a century now, is gone. And it is not gone because authoritarianism has defeated it, it is gone because of its inner contradictions. An expert in Liberalism, as John Gray (he spent 20 years of his academic life investigating it) has a precise diagnosis of what has happened. This lecture at his former university is extremely valuable to refresh our view of declining Western World.
