	Book Review -- After Liberalism: Mass Democracy in the Managerial State (FD 07/02) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		In essence, Gottfried argues, it was middle-class and “bourgeois” in its make-up and outlook.
		Indeed, as Gottfried explains, many liberals were deeply concerned that the spread and extension of the democratic process and the voting franchise would threaten to undermine the free and liberal society as “the masses” attempted to use political means to plunder men of property and enterprise.
		Gottfried also wonders whether the older and truer liberalism can ever be restored, given the undermining and passing away of many of the cultural, ethical, and historical conditions that fostered its emergence and success in an earlier era.

	The Strange Transformation of Marxism
		Gottfried this shift from economics to culture means the death of Marxism, because Marxism is an economic theory.
		Gottfried writes, that the traditional European Marxist parties, when they had most of the votes of their traditional electorate, never attempted to change the traditional, almost Victorian social and moral behaviour of their blue-collar voters.
		Gottfried’s book explains how this agenda came into being and how those who shaped it brought their ideas from Europe to America in the 1930s and 40s and then back again in the 1960s and 70s.

		To Gottfried, multiculturalism is not a dry academic philosophy but rather the political tool of an identifiable ideology being used to redefine Western notions of normality for the purpose of seizing and exercising central state power.
		Note that Gottfried is not simply complaining about a coincidental âliberal biasâ in the media; he is alleging that there are elites in the very influential American media who knowingly attempt to dispose the public favorably toward radical causes of which they approve and which they want the central government to advance or profit from.
		Gottfried, on the other hand, argues that multiculturalism is prevalent throughout the culture, that in effect the âwarâ has been over for some time, the multiculturalists having already won.

	More theorizing about liberalism \| Turnabout
		It does not seem an objection to the foregoing to say, as Gottfried does, that forms of liberalism have differed greatly, that liberals have had various goals and motives, or that their views have often been mixed with Christianity, concern to avoid radical excesses, or a desire to protect social and religious traditions against tyranny.
		Gottfried's final question is whether the same applies to other possible bases of opposition to contemporary liberalism, for example conservatism and Christianity.
		Gottfried correctly points out that much contemporary Christianity is shot through with liberalism and that much in contemporary liberalism has Christian sources.

	The Strange Transformation of Marxism
		Gottfried is right when he says that the multicultural orientation of the contemporary European Left has little to do with Marxism as an economic-historical theory.
		Gottfried's book explains how this agenda came into being and how those who shaped it brought their ideas from Europe to America in the 1930s and 40s and then back again in the 1960s and 70s.

		Gottfried argues in a sub-thesis that the managerial-therapeutic state knows full well that it cannot exist without the economic basis of free enterprise, whose munificence it appropriates in order to fund its millennial plans.
		Gottfried’s strength is that he convinces us to lower our sights from the awful, hence mesmerizing, vista of Robespierre, Hitler, and Stalin so as to contemplate the superficially less roiled but equally revolutionary scene of our own contemporary circumstances.
		Not coincidentally, Gottfried is associated with the journal Chronicles and with the attendant Rockford Institute, where the theory is that in a collapsed civilization it is up to individuals to create islands of ethical order of their own in the sea of moral chaos and barbarian intimidation.

	Dead But Not Gone
		What Gottfried really presents is the history of Marxism’s bastard offspring, political correctness, and the institution most responsible for its birth, the Frankfurt School.
		Gottfried traces the rise of PC and multiculturalism through Antonio Gramsci, Georg Lukacs, the Frankfurt School, and others, showing how Marx’s economic determinism evolved into an obsession with the unholy trinity of “racism, sexism, and homophobia,” which now demands endless sacrifices.
		But Gottfried writes, “In defense of this project as a Marxist one, it might be said that its practitioners regarded themselves as revolutionary disciples of Marx and took pains to place their work into a Marxist framework.” Perhaps we should simply take them at their word.

	Multiculturalism and the Politics of Guilt: Toward a Secular Theocracy
		Paul Gottfried has seen an aspect of multiculturalism and political correctness that previous critics of these doctrines have failed adequately to stress.
		As everyone acquainted with Paul Gottfried knows, he is a man of exemplary fairness, and I am happy to assure readers that conservative Protestants, Roman Catholics, and Jews do not escape unscathed.
		I doubt that Gottfried would accept this, so it is better to take his remarks, not sensu strictu, but as a preliminary survey of the terrain.

	Accuracy in Academia
		Paul Gottfried’s After Liberalism: Mass Democracy in the Managerial State examines these trends and finds that the elites have already achieved their two basic aims: redistributing income and sensitizing the public’s social attitudes.
		Although Gottfried is right to contend that Western democracies voted themselves government retirement and health-care programs, he is on shakier grounds when he infers that many of the problems of runaway government can be attributed to the expansion of democracy.
		While some of Gottfried’s conclusions may be worth challenging—namely that democracy itself is to blame for many of these problems—the book is destined to be read in conservative circles for years to come.

		Gottfried claims that intermarriage occurred frequently in pre-Rabbinic Judaism and that my views on Jewish rejection of exogamy are inappropriate generalizations from restrictions on the Kohanim (i.e., the priestly caste).
		Gottfried is correct in noting that different groups have waxed and waned in importance throughout history, but Jewish groups have repeatedly assumed a very high degree of social and economic importance.
		Gottfried errs in supposing that a higher IQ necessarily leads to domination of lower races or rationalizes such domination.

	Crisis Magazine
		Paul Gottfried, a Yale Ph.D. and professor of humanities at Elizabethtown College, has given us a brief yet deeply learned overview of the modern European Left.
		According to Gottfried, we have witnessed in recent decades a gradual and accelerating evolution of the European Left away from doctrinaire Marxism and toward a multicultural substitute that bears little resemblance to the earlier creed.
		Inseparable from the modern European Left, Gottfried argues, is an intense self-loathing for all things Western (themselves and their ideology excluded, naturally), and particularly for the Western past.

		Throughout the numerous fields of Leibniz' activity- from mathematics to metaphysics, from geology to engineering, from politics to theology, from physics and chemistry to economics, from history and linguistics- there runs a pervasive inner unity, which must be grasped for a full understanding of his word.
		In this trenchant challenge to social engineering, Paul Gottfried analyzes a patricide: the slaying of nineteenth-century liberalism by the managerial state.
		Gottfried looks at Carl Schmitt as a critic of modern liberalism and as a defender of the national state who examined carefully Western historical and political traditions.

		He builds on them to show why it matters that the managerial state has replaced traditional liberalism: the new regimes of social engineers, he maintains, are elitists, and their rule is consensual only in the sense that it is unopposed by any widespread organized opposition.

		If we do not wake up, Gottfried warns, the political debate may soon be over, despite sporadic and ideologically confused populist rumblings in both Europe and the United States.

		Gottfried focuses on trends such as "diversity," "multiculturalism," and "sensitivity" showing that there is a theology behind them.
		Gottfried breaks from standard neoconservative and paleoconservative analysis by showing that although the "sensitizing" may be carried out by the managerial class, it appears to have substantial public support.
		Gottfried describes this book as a follow up to After Liberalism, a more philosophical and historical work that addressed the question of how liberalism shifted from the "juste milieu" of 19th century Europeans like Francois Guizot and William Gladstone to the late 20th century welfare state.
