The Arbitrary Lines of Zoning ft. M Nolan Gray Jun 17, 2022

What does a neoliberal infrastructure package look like? Sep 09, 2021

With gigantic infrastructure bills making their way through Congress, Jeremiah outlines a vision of what a neoliberal infrastructure package should look like.

Defining Neoliberalism ft. Kevin Vallier Aug 17, 2021

The age old question - how do we actually define neoliberalism?

We discuss the core features that defined the neoliberalism of Hayek, Friedman and Buchanan, the differences between the original neoliberals and modern neoliberals, and the threats posed by modern illiberalism.

Immigrants and Institutions ft. Alex Nowrasteh Apr 06, 2021

How Rights Went Wrong ft. Jamal Greene Mar 10, 2021

Has the way that Americans think about rights caused our politics to become more polarized and destructive? Columbia Law Professor and Facebook Oversight Board co-chair Jamal Greene joins the podcast to discuss his new book, "How Rights Went Wrong". Should we consider rights to be absolutes? Which rights count as rights, and what happens when one right bumps against another?

We discuss how the American conception of rights has changed over time, and how our legal system's absolute view of rights changes our politics. We also discuss Facebook's new Oversight Board (soon to rule on Trump's ban from Facebook), and how they balance competing claims of various rights.

The Moral Adventure of Liberalism ft. Adam Gopnik Jul 21, 2020

Everyone seems to agree liberalism is under threat these days, but what exactly is liberalism? Is it a set of policy beliefs, a form of centrism, a belief in markets? Adam Gopnik, author of the new book A Thousand Small Sanities: The Moral Adventure of Liberalism, argues that liberalism is best understood as a practice, not an ideology. We discuss the various ways to frame liberalism as a concept - as a social technology for tolerance, a tendency towards democratic pluralism, belief in reform over revolution, and more. We also discuss how liberalism is dealing with threats today from social media bubbles and right-wing extremism, and how liberal values can still come out ahead.
