{"product_id":"9781509566228","title":"The Collapse of Global Liberalism : And the Emergence of the Post Liberal World Order","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1990s, a vision emerged of a frictionless world of globalization in which the West would become ever richer on the basis of a tech-based service economy, all underpinned by a rules-based liberal international order. It became the basis for the mainstream politics of centre-left and right.    Philip Pilkington argues that this vision was always delusional and is now dying. It is based on a doctrinaire and unrealistic form of liberalism and has given rise to hollowed-out financialised economies and disintegrating societies that can barely even reproduce their population or meet their energy needs. The US and UK find themselves ill-equipped to compete with China and other non-liberal states within an emerging post-liberal order in which what really matters is industrial capacity, realpolitik and military strength. Only by abandoning our liberal delusions and advancing our own brand of hard-headed post-liberalism can the West survive.    No clear-sighted observer of contemporary geopolitics can afford to miss this bracing diagnosis of the West's malaise and bold agenda for renewal.   Also available as an audiobook.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55732475167096,"sku":"9781509566228","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781509566228.jpg?v=1794287977","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781509566228","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
