More about the book
The book critiques the widespread belief that society would thrive without national politics, proposing instead that this notion is an illusion. Manent explores the fantasy of a world where democratic values exist independently of national contexts, suggesting that such a scenario could lead to a utopia governed only by law and morality. He examines the implications of dissolving borders and the rise of supranational entities like the European Union, questioning whether liberation from political constraints can truly lead to a better existence.
