In The Retreat of Western Liberalism, Luce makes a larger statement about the weakening of western hegemony and the crisis of liberal democracy - of which Donald Trump and his European counterparts are not the cause, but a terrifying symptom. Luce argues that we are on a menacing trajectory brought about by ignorance of what it took to build the West, arrogance towards society's economic losers, and complacency about our system's durability.

Interesting, but biased.

Hard to swallow book with a digestible narration
Revisado: 08-10-17
A bit bleak, but a very insightful take on this topic. Of this genre of post-Trump think pieces, the author goes ahead and assumes a loss of American foreign dominance and political normalcy and focuses more on global trends.
Not for people who can't get on with the idea of "The West", but I'm not sure if the author really believes in that term either.

Edited by Samuel H. Beer, with key selections from Capital and "The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte", this volume features an especially helpful introduction that serves as a guide to Marxist political and economic theory and to placing the specific writings in their contemporary setting. Included are a bibliography and list of important dates in the life of Karl Marx.

What did you like best about The Communist Manifesto? What did you like least?
It is a pretty powerful book, but that power is undercut by the hour long (a literal quarter of the audiobook) explanation of why Communism does not work. I'm fine with that, but put it after the book when I actually have time to form my own opinion about the arguments. I would be fine with it if they actually advertised that there would be that much commentary.
What didn’t you like about Joe Geoffrey’s performance?
The performance was WAY to quiet. I had to turn any speaker all the way up and mute any other noise to make out the sound.
