In this trenchant challenge to social engineering, Paul Gottfried analyzes a patricide: the slaying of nineteenth-century liberalism by the managerial state. Today liberalism no longer connotes distributed powers and bourgeois moral standards, the need to protect civil society from an encroaching state, or the virtues of vigorous self-government. Today's liberals have far different goals from those of their predecessors, aiming as they do largely to combat prejudice, to provide social services and welfare benefits, and to defend expressive and lifestyle freedoms. Here, Gottfrieddoes more than just analyze these historical facts. He builds on them to show why it matters that the managerial state has replaced traditional liberalism: the new regimes of social engineers, he mainMass democracy in the managerial state. This volume analyzes the replacement of 19th-century liberalism by a managerial state. Author Paul Gottfried argues that new regimes of social engineers are elitists, ruling only through a lack of widespread organized opposition.
