How To Be A Liberal by Ian Dunt

How To Be A Liberal by Ian Dunt

As nationalism seeks to crush liberal democracy around the world, a journalist reveals the origins, values and value of liberalism in this epic work.

‘A tour de force; a mighty trumpet blast for the forces of liberalism and enlightenment in the face of a global tide of ignorance and populism’

– THE SECRET BARRISTER

‘This is a history of ideas as it should be written – brilliant, vivid story-telling about the people who shaped liberalism, the challenges it has faced over the centuries, its commitment to the truth and why it’s now more important than ever to defend it.’

– CAROLINE LUCAS MP

‘Dunt’s gift for making complicated issues comprehensible is second to none. Courageous.’

– JAMES O’BRIEN, LBC

‘How To Be A Liberal is required reading for today’s political debates.’

– ANNE APPLEBAUM, TWILIGHT OF DEMOCRACY

‘Clear-eyed and hard-headed. His defence of liberalism is political writing at its most urgent and engaging.’

– NICK COHEN, OBSERVER COLUMNIST

‘A phenomenal history from a truly big mind.’

– DAVID SCHNEIDER, THE DEATH OF STALIN

'When in the course of human events it falls on us to resist, this makes a welcome guidebook.'

– KIRKUS

'He describes liberalism as “an enormous, boisterous, confounding bloody thing,” and writes passionately in its favour, as a counterweight to ignorance and populism. This book is required reading for anyone interested in politics and philosophy.'

– PROSPECT

'All of Ian Dunt’s How to be a Liberal is essential reading, but the chapter on Harriet Taylor and John Stuart Mill is blistering, eye-opening stuff.'
