So much to talk about and share! Here is a favorite essay among Dalrymple’s more recent work, titled “The Age of Cant.” It sums up so much of what irritates me about the self righteousness of the “progressive” left.

I also love his very early writing about Sub Saharan Africa. He discovered many truths about what poverty really is that I independently discovered living deep in India in the mid 1980s and in rural Southern Mexico in the 1970s. I will locate for you. He really, really knows his shit.

And I say this as a lifelong liberal.
Thanks. Great essay, albeit depressing (like the essays in "Life at the Bottom".
What a gem to have discovered.
I can really resonate with the liberalism you have described (in another comment). I so wish it were ascendant today!
And I look forward to more recommendations!
