Today's review is from Suicide of the West by James Burnham, which provides a critical analysis of liberalism as a dominant ideology within Western civilization. Burnham argues that liberalism's core tenets, such as belief in progress, human perfectibility, and the power of reason, are ultimately flawed and incompatible with the realities of human nature and history. He contends that liberalism's emphasis on peace, justice, and freedom, while well-intentioned, often leads to a weakening of Western societies in the face of real threats, such as communism. Burnham further criticizes liberalism's tendency towards social engineering, arguing that its attempts to solve social problems through reform often produce unintended consequences and fail to address the underlying issues. Ultimately, Burnham suggests that liberalism's core values are insufficient to sustain Western civilization in a world where the threat of survival is ever-present.
