"Five Books from 2018 That Will Help Explain What Happens in 2019"

"Five Books from 2018 That Will Help Explain What Happens in 2019"

This article by the excellent Sumantra Maitra is merely a series of book reviews about both international develops -- and why they develop the way they do -- as well as domestic and national concerns.

Would that I had both the money and the time to read all these!

He reviews briefly Why Liberalism Failed by the interestingly named (for Irish-language devotees) Patrick J. Deneen; The Great Delusion: Liberal Dreams and International Realities, by John J. Mearsheimer; The Hell of Good Intentions: America’s Foreign Policy Elite and the Decline of U.S. Primacy, by Stephen M. Walt; The Virtue of Nationalism, by Yoram Hazony; and The Diversity Delusion: How Race and Gender Pandering Corrupt the University and Undermine Our Culture, by Heather Mac Donald.

I won't review them here as Maitra does such an excellent job of it.
