Postliberalism, Borg argues, advances a distinct critique of liberalism, as well as an emphasis on the common good as a corrective to the perceived shortcomings of liberalism. The central claim is that the two dominant forms of post-World War II liberalism, market liberalism and social liberalism, rather than being somehow opposed, have coalesced around a political project that above all seeks to maximize the conditions under which individual autonomy can be exercised. As a result, the liberal sociopolitical order has become increasingly inept at nurturing the communal resources that underpin human sociability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA work of contemporary intellectual history, Borg re-creates the birth of postliberalism, compares both British and American strands of postliberal thinking and reconstructs postliberalism across disciplines. In addition, Borg argues that while the postliberal critique resonates with segments on the political Right as well as the Left, postliberal prescriptions, which revolve around the promotion of the common good, are more controversial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngaging and thought-provoking, \u003ci\u003eThe Return of the Common Good\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003ci\u003eThe Postliberal Project Left and Right\u003c\/i\u003e is suitable for a broad set of readers and an invaluable guide to further debates on liberalism and populism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStefan Borg \u003c\/b\u003eis Associate Professor in Political Science at the Swedish Defence University.
