[edit] AFTER LIBERALISM
A challenge to social engineering, this book analyzes a patricide: the slaying of nineteenth-century liberalism by the managerial state. It shows why it matters that the managerial state has replaced traditional liberalism. It also locates the quandary for traditionalist and populist adversaries of the welfare state.
In this trenchant challenge to social engineering. Paul Gottfried analyzes a patricide: the slaying of nineteenth-century liberalism by the managenal state. Today liberalism no longer connotes distributed powers and bourgeois moral standards, the need to protect civil society from an encroaching state, or the virtues of vigorous self-government. Today's 'liberals' have far different goals from those of their predecessors, aiming as they do largely to combat prejudice, to provide social services and welfare benefits, and to defend expressive and 'lifestyle' freedoms. Here, Gottfried does more than just analyze these historical facts. He builds on them to show why it matters that the managerial state has replaced traditional liberalism: the new regimes of social engineers, he maintains, are elitists, and their rule is consensual only in the sense that it is unopposed by any widespread organized opposition.
