What is Liberal Socialism?: Is this Canada’s "Just Transition"?

Monday, November 23 / 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm EST

Join authors Matt McManus in conversation with Luke Savage for an Author Social.

Liberalism and socialism have long been understood as mortal enemies, but both developed out of the Enlightenment and are committed to the importance of reason, freedom, and flourishing for all.

In What is Liberal Socialism? McManus makes the case for retrieving a long-forgotten tradition of liberal socialist thought. The book lays out the strengths and weaknesses of liberal socialism in the context of the tumultuous 21st century, arguing that it may be an overlooked source of hope, one deserving of reconsideration in an era of right wing populism.
