With the continued move toward cities, I question your idea that liberalism will decline. It probably will increase. But, looks like an interesting book.
FR posted this twice, and then bumped me to the other page, which I thought was the only copy, so I missed the discussion here. Sorry about that.
You said, “With the continued move toward cities, I question your idea that liberalism will decline. It probably will increase. But, looks like an interesting book.”
That part kind of scares me, because it does shift back, and harshly. Rome saw the farmers abandon their farms and head for the city. Yesinia pestis turned back the Dark Ages by cleaning out high population densities. History would indicate it will shift back by some means.
