Radicals: Portraits of a Destructive Passion Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

Radical liberals want to create America a better place, but their utopian interpersonal engineering leads, ironically, to better human suffering.

From Karl Marx to Barack Obama, Horowitz shows the way the idealistic impulse to help make the world a better place gives birth towards the twin cultural pathologies of cynicism and nihilism and is the chief way to obtain human suffering. A former liberal himself, Horowitz recounts his own brushes with radicalism and will be offering unparalleled insight in to the disjointed ideology of liberal elites through case studies of well-known radical leftists, including Christopher Hitchens, feminist Bettina Aptheker, leftist academic Cornel West, as well as others.

Exploring the origin and evolution of radical liberals and their progressive ideology, Radicals illustrates how liberalism is not only intellectually crippling for its adherents but damaging to society.
