Imperial Entanglements Ep 1: Why Classical Liberals Have Disappointed Us
In this inaugural episode, host Zack Yost and GMU economist Dan Klein explore their disappointment with classical liberals on both institutional and philosophical levels when it comes to facing changing sociopolitical circumstances. This wide ranging conversation covers a lot of ground including the institutional and political problems that classical liberal organizations face, the inherently violent nature of political life, and the insights of political theorist Eric Voegelin into the dangers of dogmatic thinking that cuts one off from the transcendent.
