It’s hard to imagine that I’ll read anything more timely – or timeless, for that matter – this morning than Patrick Deneen’s America’s Potemkin Village. He brings a lot of thread together into a coherent account of what’s happening.
Two comments:
- He’s using “liberalism” in the classic sense – the sense in which today’s “conservatives” and “liberals” are both “liberal.”
- I assume the “Potemkin Village” label alludes to the ironic Census Bureau ad – portraying mythical America while it promotes participation in the organized bribery of real America.
