Liberalism, as a political and economic philosophy, has been the dominant paradigm of the modern era. Rooted in the ideals of individual freedom, free markets, and democratic governance, it promised to deliver prosperity, equality, and peace. From the Enlightenment to the post-Cold War era, liberalism shaped the foundations of Western societies and inspired global movements for human rights, globalization, and technological progress. Yet, in the early 21st century, liberalism finds itself in crisis. The promises of universal progress and shared prosperity have given way to rising inequality, political polarization, environmental degradation, and a widespread sense of disillusionment.

In this book, we will examine how liberalism's failures have given rise to new challenges and alternatives. From the resurgence of populism and nationalism to the search for post-liberal visions of the future, we will explore the forces shaping the 21st century and the possibilities for a more just, sustainable, and inclusive world. Liberalism may have been the defining ideology of the modern era, but its failures have opened the door to a new chapter in human history-one that demands bold thinking and collective action.
