Episode 7
Trish and Hirad discuss a 28-year-old book on liberalism and its detractors. After a brief history of what liberalism is and how it developed, we talk about why and how it was under attack in the 90s and how the attacks have changed over the years. Along the way, we argue about whether we can ever really make moral progress and how we need to deal with the reality of historical injustices in liberal societies.
As always, the book we discuss in this episode is available here.
