Two Faces of Liberalism - Book by John Gray

Name: Two Faces of Liberalism
Author: John Gray

In Two Faces of Liberalism, John Gray critiques the dominant liberal ideologies of modern times, emphasizing their contradictions and limitations. He argues that liberalism, in its quest for individual freedom and progress, can inadvertently support both individual autonomy and state control. Gray examines how liberalism's emphasis on individual rights often conflicts with its support for global capitalism and the market. Through this exploration, he suggests that liberalism, rather than being a universal solution, has multiple faces that respond differently to societal needs, often resulting in tension between its idealistic and pragmatic aspects.
