Is liberalism the monster of our age? A week after the conference Geopolitics in a Time of Monsters, I am joined by Pascal Lottaz, host of Neutrality Studies, to reflect on what its speakers learned. Pascal explains why thinkers across the political spectrum converged on liberalism as the root of today's chaos, a chaos visited upon the world from the North Atlantic and now turned against Western populations themselves. We examine why Europe's elites serve a transatlantic ruling class over their own people, why the European Union has become a war project beyond reform, and how moralism and expert rule have hollowed out Western democracy.
