Context #IRLScholarMarkElchardus: "After the Second World War, Europe experienced a period of great progress with increasing equality, rising productivity, expansion of education and fundamental scientific and technological breakthroughs. But in the 1970s, the tide began to turn. In the first period, the policy was community-oriented; in the second it was (neo)liberal. The new neoliberal regime contributed to instability in Africa and the Middle East, as well as massive illegal migration. Internal divisions grew in many western countries. Since 2008, this regime has been in deep crisis. The familiar forms of community thinking - Christian Democracy and Social Democracy - have meanwhile been liberalized to such an extent that they prove unable to return to a policy based on community thinking. That task now falls to nationalism. This book clarifies the nature and origin of the difference between communalism and liberalism. It describes how a reset is possible. How to restore democracy, how to return to a more peaceful world with greater prosperity, well-being and progress." Mark Elchardus (2021).
