Episode notes

John dewey is a great hero, especially among progressive liberals. And i guess i find it the econoyst me, finds it deeply appealing. Evision i see you advancing is local, less manipulative, more artisnal and poorer. Are there things that we can or ought to do ah that constitute some recognition of the existence of nature that we're going to need and rely upon?

Political Scientist and author Patrick Deneen of the University of Notre Dame talks about his book Why Liberalism Failed with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. By liberalism, Deneen means the modern enterprise--the push for self-actualization free of the constraints of tradition, family, and religion that typifies modern culture. He argues that both the left and the right have empowered the state and reduced liberty. He argues for a smaller, more local, more artisanal economy and a return to the virtues of self-control and self-mastery.
