Such a clear diagnosis of where America is intellectually and how it got there — short enough to read in a couple of evenings without feeling shouted at.
I was refreshed by his analysis of hyper-liberal progressivism: good intentions sliding into unpleasant dogma and bigotry in recent years. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, as they say, and Fukuyama writes with a calm that makes the argument feel discussable rather than tribal.
