Lost in Ideology

Interpreting Modern Political Life
Lost in Ideology maps the ideological terrain of the past 200 years and asks whether the current disorientation engulfing the world’s liberal democracies is in no small part ideological in origin.
Modern political life is a confusing and disorientating terrain of competing ideologies.

People feel confused because there are multiple ideological maps, so to speak, each marked by dramatically different points of interest, rivers, summits, roads, and total topographies. Ideology in the modern era has the paradoxical effect of orienting millions even as it disorients millions. This leads us to the present-day predicament in which individuals of every imaginable political stripe confidently declare: “I have a theory – but you? You have an ideology!”
