Colombia in the moral trap of progressivism

Colombia in the moral trap of progressivism is a book that reveals how a political project that once sought to impose itself by force now tries to do so through words and culture. Under the promise of inclusion and social justice hides a strategy that alters language, manipulates institutions and takes advantage of the media and universities to change the way Colombians understand freedom, responsibility and community life. Carlos Serrano Sierra combines history, economics and philosophy to show that this transformation is not an abstract debate. Its effects are felt in employment, in social trust, in the family, and in the future of the republic. Inspired by the ideas of the Austrian school and the Latin American experience, the author explains in detail how the moral capital of the country is being weakened and what ways exist to resist without falling into hatred or resignation. This book is both a warning and a proposal. It warns about the trap of a progressivism that promises redemption while eroding Colombia's foundational values, and proposes to recover the strength of the family, faith and community.
