Regime Change

'Deneen does more than show how our present ruling class has declared war on beauty, tradition, and the social institutions that make life worth living; he articulates a vision for a populist politics that can rebuild what has been torn down' - JD Vance, United States Senator 'Regime Change offers a sober assessment of where we are, and a way forward that will challenge ideologues on all sides of the political maelstrom' - Mary Harrington 'In Regime Change, Patrick Deneen expertly points us beyond the opposition between a feckless populism and a rapacious elite, toward a vision of shared purpose, mutual obligation, and truly common goods. Along the way, he reaffirms his status as the West's most important political theorist' - Sohrab Ahmari, founder and editor of Compact and author of Tyranny, Inc. 'A brilliant and clarifying success, identifying a set of mechanisms by which a post-liberal order might come into being. Here, as in Why Liberalism Failed, Deneens views will become the fixed center around which the debate revolves' - Adrian Vermeule, Ralph S. Tyler Professor of Constitutional Law, Harvard Law School 'This creative and courageous book takes us to the core of the American impasse. Deneens Common Good conservatism is a gallant effort to preserve crucial aspects of our desiccated democratic tradition' - Cornel West, Union Theological Seminary Deneen writes a fluent, fiery prose that mixes moral exhortation, anti-liberal polemic and philosophical critique Deneens to-do list includes fresh ideas that deserve attention from anyone liberal or not appalled by political gridlock, economic inequality and social neglect - Edmund Fawcett, Financial Times
