Post-Liberalism + “Henry Kissinger” Cameo?
This week’s episode features frequent guest Phil Munoz of Notre Dame University, sitting in for John Yoo, discussing his very timely new article in First Things magazine on “The Founders and the Common Good.” His article is getting a fair bit of buzz on the interwebs, as it takes up the surprisingly hot topic of “post-liberalism” in particular to dispute the contention of some leading post-liberals that the American Founding was defective and therefore part of the problem. We also take up briefly an excellent article on the same issue by Andrew Walker in The Daily Wire, “The Neutrality Myth: Liberty, Order and the Common Good.” Both worthy of your reading pile.
(By the way, speaking of First Things, have I mentioned that I am thinking about starting a quarterly academic journal for the OnlyFans community, and calling it First Thongs? I’ll show myself out. . .)
This episode also features a short cameo appearance by “Henry Kissinger” (we summoned him by means of a Ouija board) to bring his legendary perspective to our current foriegn policy confusion, and we tackle a listener question about populism.
