Krátky popis
Why did the West, after winning the Cold War, lose its political
balance?In the early 1990s, hopes for the eastward spread of
liberal democracy were high. And yet the transformation of Eastern
European countries gave rise to a bitter repudiation of liberalism
itself, not only in the East but also back in the heartland of the
West. In this brilliant work of political psychology, Ivan Krastev
and Stephen Holmes argue that the supposed end of history turned
out to be only the beginning of an Age of Imitation.Reckoning with
the history of the last thirty years, they show that the most
powerful force behind the wave of populist xenophobia that began in
Eastern Europe stems from resentment at the post-1989 imperative to
become Westernized. Through this prism, the Trump revolution
represents an ironic fulfillment of the promise that the nations
exiting from communist rule would come to resemble the United
States. In a strange twist, Trump has elevated Putin's Russia and
Orban's Hungary into models for the United States.Written by two
pre-eminent intellectuals bridging the East/West divide, The Light
that Failed is a landmark book that sheds light on the
extraordinary history of our Age of Imitation.
