THE LONG GOODBYE: THE END OF AMERICA AND THE WEST A Guide for Its Burial or Revival.
Every civilization believes itself eternal, right up until the moment when it is only a memory. This is the story of that moment — and the choices that follows it.
The Long Goodbye is neither a eulogy nor a rescue plan, but both at once: it is a clear-eyed reckoning with the forces unmaking the American and Western order — institutional decay, civic amnesia, the slow surrender of self-government to the collective spectacle — paired with an unflinching look at what it would actually take to reverse course, if reversal is still possible. Drawing on history, political philosophy, economics, and the long record of empires that mistook decline for a passing mood, this book refuses the comfort of easy nostalgia and the equal comfort of easy despair. It asks the only question that matters at the end of an era: bury it, or rebuild it — and who, exactly, is going to decide?
Bracing, erudite, uniquely panoramic and unsentimental, The Long Goodbye is a field guide for anyone who suspects we are living through the last chapter of something — and wants to know whether the next chapter is theirs to write. A recognized milestone and decisive piece of writing of contemporary historical analysis!
