One of the Washington Post’s 50 notable works of nonfiction in 2017. An Amazon Top 100 book of the year. A Financial Times and Economist best book of the year. Selected for a Kindle Daily Deal in January 2018.
In the run-up to hardcover publication, Luce published an op-ed on the British election in the New York Times (international edition and online). The Retreat of Western Liberalism was mentioned by David Remnick in his New Yorker piece on Trump's first 100 days and in a David Brooks New York Times column, as well as in the New York Times's "12 New Books We Recommend This Week" piece.
A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice. An Amazon Best Book of the Month in the history category for June 2017. One of Amazon's best books of the year so far for 2017.
Edward Luce took a sabbatical from his post as the chief U.S. columnist at the Financial Times to write this book, which we are publishing within the Trump administration's first six months. The Retreat of Western Liberalism gives an important and timely interpretative framework for major recent events, including Trump's election, Brexit, and the authoritarian version of national destiny which is staging a powerful global comeback.
Luce takes the historical long view in this book, looking at China and India's pre-industrial world prominence; the rise of western economies, values, and an almost holy vision of progress; and the current "rise of the rest" which has corresponded to a decline in western economic and political superiority.
Luce's 2012 book Time to Start Thinking was reviewed on the front cover of the New York Times Book Review and was named an Editors' Choice. It was widely and positively reviewed in major news and business outlets, and we can expect the same level of coverage for the new book.
