A Call To Action

We live in an age of extremes with populist leaders setting the agenda and autocracies on the march. Meanwhile the liberal establishment is a bewildered blob, devoid of new ideas or fresh solutions.

So says global business columnist Adrian Wooldridge who has issued a powerful call to action in his latest book Centrists of the World Unite!

His is an entertaining guide through the intellectual, cultural and political histories of liberalism, in which he lays out a centrist agenda for today’s problems.

Liberals today need to be much more critical of big business, he says, particularly if it makes money by manipulating choices and spreading misinformation.

Instead, he shows how liberals of all parties and none can come together in defending the values of liberal civilisation from enemies without and within.
