Meer over het boek
In his work "The End of Ideology: On the Exhaustion of Political Ideas in the 1950s," Daniel Bell echoed the consensus of a generation of Western politicians and intellectuals who believed that democracy and the welfare state had defeated the creed of totalitarianism. This volume includes "The End of Ideology in the West," a seminal essay explaining the significance of this concept—the death of fascism and communism in the battle of ideas—and discusses whether the distinction between right and left still makes sense in democracies. It also features "Return to the End of Ideology," in which Bell responded in 1988 to criticisms from the radical left and accounted for the rise of extremism in the West during the 1960s and 1970s. Despite the passage of time, readers will find that the issues addressed in these pages remain highly relevant: the foundations of the welfare state, the validity of the distinction between left and right, and the future of radicalism and populism in politics.
