Indeed, we live in a time when liberal democracies are under pressure. They have lost some of their legitimacy, especially in the eyes of young people, who feel that politics is not acting decisively enough on the big issues of our time, such as climate. Whereas, if you look around, we still live in the world's least lousy societies. Nobody tells me that life is better in authoritarian China or Russia. That we live in freedom and can bonk out bad leaders and sometimes even good leaders is invaluable.
