Ronald Beiner?is Professor Emeritus of Political Science, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.

In Civil Religion Ronald Beiner cautioned that the illiberal right would always find purchase with its galvanizing claim that liberalism was unheroic, materialist, and banal. In a word: boring. Since he wrote those wise words Beiner's concerns have been borne out. Though as is made clear in this fabulous new collection the result hasn't been a turn to Trump's heroic new golden age. It is instead an era of lies masquerading as authenticity, cruelty as strength, vapidity as populism. Chronicling the intellectual roots of today's hard right Radical Right Ideologues in the Age of Trump is signature Ronald Beiner. Beautifully written, sweepingly erudite, and above all urgent. All of us committed to the liberal principles of liberty, equality and solidarity for all have much to learn in its pages.&lÃ6
