Liberalism is often mischaracterized by its detractors on the left and the right. Its rich traditions of individual freedom, self-determination, and thoughtful tolerance get lost in the wake of today’s societal stratification and global threats to free speech.
In The Revolutionary Center: The Lost of Genius of Liberalism, Bloomberg Opinion’s Adrian Wooldridge seeks to revive those traditions by detailing the intellectual, cultural, and political histories of liberalism. For the West to avoid stagnation or catastrophe, Mr. Woolridge argues, modern liberals ought to learn from the successes of their predecessors and maintain a strong national defense while clearly articulating the values that the West stands for.
Please join us for a conversation about liberalism and American institutions with Mr. Wooldridge and AEI’s Adam J. White.
