Are you referring to economic Liberalism (classic or otherwise) or something else?
- eunos 4y agoNot economic liberalism, more political liberalism.
- andybak 4y agoThe period it seemed invincible was fairly brief. During the cold war, the West wasn't especially "liberal" in it's interactions with the rest of the world. Post cold-war there was maybe a few years or less of Fukuyama-esque optimism. The Arab Spring looked positive and ended with most places worse than they started. So - not sure there was much of a window of invincibility. Unless of course you want to hark back to the Fin de siècle period. Imperialism was in full swing so that's controversial.
