Many in the West hoped that liberalism would now have free rein to shape events around the world. Utopia, at least of a liberal form, was finally within humanity’s grasp.

No essay embodied this feeling more than “The End

Die konservative Schriftstellerin Bethany Mandel, eine Co-Autorin eines neuen Buches, das „Wachheit“ als „eine neue Version der Linken, die auf Ihr Kind abzielt“, angreift, kürzlich eingefroren in einer Kabelnachrichtensendung, wenn sie von einem Interviewer gefragt wird, wie sie definiert aufgewacht, der Begriff, um den es in ihrem Buch geht.

Einerseits könnte jeder von uns mit einem öffentlichen Job einen ähnlichen Moment der Distanzierung im Live-Fernsehen erleben. Andererseits offenbarten der Moment und die Debatte, die er auslöste, etwas Wichtiges. Ein
