Previous Episode: Book Review: "Why Liberalism Failed" -- Part 1
I discuss the various strengths and weaknesses of Patrick Deneen’s critique of liberalism, and put forward my own slightly different argument that liberalism is like a cargo cult – taking ordinary human creations and elevating them to products of divine intervention. George Carlin helps out along the way, and we close with a consideration of the recent “market capitalism” controversy stirred up by Tucker Carlson.
