"Maybe Wooldridge thinks the way to pitch liberalism to an increasingly skeptical working class is pointing out how empty fridges will be a net positive for their waistlines." @mattpolprof.bsky.social on Adrian Wooldridge.
GET THEY ASS
"Liberal egalitarianism, without a doubt the most novel and important strand of scholarly liberal thought in the world, is all but ignored by Wooldridge. John Rawls, Ronald Dworkin, Richard Rorty, Martha Nussbaum, Tommie Shelby, Brian Barry, and Danielle Allen are not mentioned at all."
Thanks @paulcrider.liberalcurrents.com
The core assertion of the elite establishment:
“social cost of inequality is more than compensated for by the improvement in general welfare produced by great entrepreneurs”
Is there any degree of inequality where this stops being a plausible claim?
"Wooldridge tiene razón en que los liberales han estado demasiado aislados por mucho tiempo. Lo que él no ve es que el liberalismo de centroderecha es el caso paradigmático de la retirada liberal de élite."
Adrian Wooldridge's "The Revolutionary Center" purports to diagnose liberalism's failings but instead merely embodies them.
