Suicide of the West: An Essay on the Meaning and Destiny of Liberalism Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

William F. Buckley Jr. maybe best explained the need for this seminal function when he stated, “James Burnham has created a reserve about Liberalism for which the world has been aching. It really is worthy of more to the West than the year’s gross nationwide product, a lot more than all the planes and bombs.”

Through studious research into past civilizations, Burnham diagnoses the twentieth century and finds it afflicted with destructive, even “suicidal” tendencies–all of which arise from the “Liberal syndrome” and its inherent applications.

The book explores a number of important questions, including why Liberalism clashes with Christianity and how Liberalism is a real cause of race riots and the rapid growth in crime. For Adam Burnham, who passed away in 1987, this book is certainly one of is own greatest legacies.
