# Post-Liberalism Intellectual movement arguing that the liberal project — individual rights, procedural neutrality, market freedom — has exhausted itself and must be replaced by a political order grounded in substantive goods, typically religious or communitarian in nature. On the right, post-liberalism draws from Catholic integralism (Adrian Vermeule), [[Paleoconservatism]] ([[Pat Buchanan]]), and [[Neoreaction]] to argue that liberalism inevitably produces atomization, moral relativism, and oligarchy. Post-liberal thinkers like Patrick Deneen (*Why Liberalism Failed*) have gained significant influence in [[Christian Nationalism]] circles and among intellectuals shaping the policy agenda of the [[Heritage Foundation]]. *Stub — expand with: Deneen, Vermeule, Ahmari, First Things debates, Compact magazine, relationship to European post-liberals (Orbán, PiS), tension with libertarian right.*
