Ten Years to Save the West by Liz Truss
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 0.7 Mb
Overview: Can the West Be Saved? Liz Truss, the former Conservative prime minister of Great Britain, thinks that’s an open question.
During her ten years at the highest levels of the British government, she often found that she was the only conservative in the room. She witnessed, first-hand, the machinations of globalists who would like nothing more than to impose corporate state-socialism on the world.
Freedom is at risk, she warns, and the Conservative Party in Britain—and the Republican Party in the United States—are ill-equipped to defend it.
The problem? Conservatives have accepted too many of the left’s taking points, allowed the left to set the political agenda, and capitulated endlessly whenever the left has sought to impose bigger government and curtail individual freedoms.
The dictatorial excesses during the Covid-19 lockdowns should have been a stark warning because they are a precursor of things to come if conservatives continue to waffle on principle, surrender on policy, and fail with the electorate.
In Ten Years to Save the West, Liz Truss reveals: Why socialism—despite its endless record of failure—remains popular, both with global elites and with the next generation. The clear and present danger of the ever-expanding “administrative state”. How conservative parties are complicit in policies of “managed decline”. Why we cannot ignore the threat of an aggressive China. Why Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher should remain the guiding lights for conservatives on both sides of the Atlantic
Urgent, detailed, and full of insights gleaned from the highest levels of politics, Liz Truss’s warning to the West cannot be ignored.
