Is liberalism in crisis?

Some believe that liberalism in the West is in crisis but how we have gotten here?

When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 it became fashionable to talk about "the end of history". Meaning that the western ideal of liberal democracies had triumphed and the world would be the richer for it - in every sense.

So has it worked out like that or is liberalism in crisis?

Ed Luce is the author of the Retreat of Western Liberalism and Pankaj Mishra is the author of The Age of Anger.
