Not All Quiet Before the Storm: A Political Study of the West

Not All Quiet Before the Storm: A Political Study of the West offers a comprehensive political and philosophical critique concerning the increasing popularity of socialism among liberal intellectuals, leftist generations of the young, and even Christian democrats. The author presents a series of extensive analyses on ideological, cultural, and generational wars, moral and identity issues, and the challenges facing the Western world in the twenty-first century. The reader is to receive a severe but frank stricture upon liberal democracy, a condemnation of the globalizing elite and the Western world's current political climate and culture. The tone of the work is "politically incorrect," describing the decline and socialist transformation of the West. The Left has changed the entire political and cultural landscape of the Western world. The breakdown of civil society was caused by individual rights not being paired with personal responsibility, and the growing culture of entitlements has convinced the people that failure is not their fault but results from the political-economic system's transgressions. Westerners have abandoned the ethical basis for society, believing that all problems are solvable by "good government." The book offers recommendations on solving the readily apparent impasse. It outlines an alternative system termed the "New West".
