"Insightful and harrowing . . . lucidly expounds on the erosion of the West's middle classes, the dysfunction among its political and economic elites and the consequences for America and the world."--Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

In his widely acclaimed book Time to Start Thinking, Financial Times chief US columnist and commentator Edward Luce charted the course of America's relative decline, proving to be a prescient voice on our current social and political turmoil.

In The Retreat of Western Liberalism, Luce makes a larger statement about the weakening of western hegemony and the crisis of liberal democracy--of which Donald Trump and his European counterparts are not the cause, but a terrifying symptom. Luce argues that we are on a menacing trajectory brought about by ignorance of what it took to build the West, arrogance towards society's economic losers, and complacency about our system's durability--attitudes that have been emerging since the fall of the Berlin Wall. We cannot move forward without a clear diagnosis of what has gone wrong. Unless the West can rekindle an economy that produces gains for the majority of its people, its political liberties may be doomed. The West's faith in history teaches us to take democracy for granted. Reality tells us something troublingly different.

Combining on-the-ground reporting with intelligent synthesis of the literature and economic analysis, Luce offers a detailed projection of the consequences of the Trump administration, the rise of European populism, and a forward-thinking analysis of what those who believe in enlightenment values must do to defend them from the multiple onslaughts they face in the coming years.

My dogs love their "keys".
Size: X-Small
My dog loves this. The only negative is that he does chew through it and I have to pick up the pieces or hope that he's not eating it.

Not long lasting for a chewer!
Size: Medium
These are massive! I have a golden retriever puppy and she chewed through the yellow ring very quickly. They keys are much more durable.

Great for puppies- have purchased several times
Size: X-Small
I have purchased this toy for a couple of the puppies in my life and they always love it. It’s not noisy, it’s made for puppies to chew (so it’s not too hard), and it’s fun for them to carry around with the different keys and key ring. A little pricey, but it always lasts a very long time- longer than they are a puppy!

Safe and Entertaining Chew Toy
Size: Medium
My dog absolutely loves this toy! She gets hours of chewing time out of it, and I feel so much better knowing the keys are made of a material that’s gentle on her teeth. Unlike harder toys that can chip teeth, this one is durable yet safe, and it keeps her happily entertained. Definitely a great choice for any dog that loves to chew.
