  "account": "MIT Professor and economist Daron Acemoglu has written a book on liberalism, warning of a global crisis. He cites Irish poet William Butler Yeats, who said in 1919 that \"the centre will not hold\". Acemoglu attributes the current unrest to people's perception of an out-of-touch establishment, citing examples including US President Donald Trump, the rise of Germany's AfD, and protests in France and Italy. He identifies three main concerns driving people's anger: inequality, inadequate public services, and a sense that politicians are not listening to them. Acemoglu believes that the liberal democracy has failed to deliver on its promises and that a new form of liberalism is needed.",
