An intellectual movement that previously felt quite fringe and weird suddenly has not only gained momentum, but it is now in power. At the core of much post-liberal thought is an old critique of liberalism: too much emphasis on the sovereignty of the individual at the expense of community and a lack of a moral conception of the good life. But what do post-liberals want to replace liberalism with? And with representatives from both the right and left of politics, will post-liberalism come to replace the old liberal order?
