Media Reviews
‘[Ryan’s] approach gives readers hope for progress toward a better future.’ -- Foreign Policy
‘["How the West Was Lost" is an] urgent, persuasive, densely documented, but eminently readable analysis of the current crisis of the West.’ -- Church Times
‘How the West Was Lost is full of smart ideas and lightly-worn learning.’ -- The Critic
'A book of big ideas: an engaging, thought-provoking diagnosis of why, despite living in an era of unparalleled wealth and prosperity, too many have lost faith in the promise of "the West". Ryan offers a roadmap for how to resurrect faith in its founding ideals, our only hope for rescuing the West from its own demons of self-doubt, demagogic populism, and a loss of moral purpose.' -- Brian Klaas, Washington Post columnist, and author of The Despot's Accomplice and The Despot's Apprentice
'Ben Ryan is one of our most interesting young thinkers. His book shows that we can't understand the evolution of our politics without looking at Western liberalism's roots in Western Christianity.' -- David Goodhart, Policy Exchange, author of 'The Road to Somewhere'
