This might redpill your father. The title will sound appealing to him as some kind of 'pwn the libs' thing and then show him that 'conservative' economic policy is the antithesis of every conservative value he has.

>As Patrick Deneen argues in this provocative book, liberalism is built on a foundation of contradictions: it trumpets equal rights while fostering incomparable material inequality; its legitimacy rests on consent, yet it discourages civic commitments in favor of privatism; and in its pursuit of individual autonomy, it has given rise to the most far-reaching, comprehensive state system in human history.

Enjoyed pic related, even though it's a very recent book.

One thing I found worthwhile was its attempt to diagnose the problems of liberalism, by stating what it is, and what it ends up doing to populations. The difficulty being that modern liberalism is quite pervasive and harder to detect as an operating ideology.

Any books that do the same, maybe better or from a different angle?

I think this is perfect time to discuss this book. I really feel that it was prescient in a lot of ways; failure of neoliberal project seems imminent

Is this pleb-tier nonsense or an interesting analysis of our decline?

>this makes the /leftypol/ and /pol/ poster seethe

How can one book be so based?
