A Preface to Politics

Through thought-provoking prose, Lippmann immerses readers in a transformative era of political change, where traditional liberalism gave way to a mosaic of ideologies, from socialism to progressivism. As you delve into the book, you'll gain profound insights into the minds of today's leaders, for they are the ideological descendants of Lippmann. Witness his complex relationship with democracy, embracing its political power while challenging its economic principles. Lippmann's astute observations on historical landmarks challenge our perceptions of importance, prompting us to reconsider the role of centralized governmental power in shaping society.
