I don't care what you're doing. Stop and read this masterful and deeply maddening account of how we betrayed our Afghan allies by George Packer in @TheAtlantic. It is one of his best. And it will haunt you for days. https://t.co/YBz2ppeUfx

"Only liberalism can allow us to live safely and prosperously in a diverse world." Thoughtful review of @FukuyamaFrancis's great new book on Liberalism and Its Discontents as well as my new book, The Great Experiment, by @JamesTraub1 for @ForeignPolicy. https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/05/10/liberalism-democracy-decline-autocracy-mounk-fukuyama-books/

From Yu Hua's "China in Ten Words," which I'm listening to on Audible at the moment. It's excellent.

A new set of ideas, often called "woke," has won enormous power over the past decade. Some have uncritically accepted them. Others have vilified them. Few have critiqued them in a serious manner. That's what I do in my new book: The Identity Trap.

Really looking forward to this panel with @EbooPatel in Chicago this afternoon. And excited to read his new book - We Need to Build: Fieldnotes for Diverse Democracy. Y'all should order it now! https://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/eboo-patel-yascha-mounk/
