Interpreting History through a Classical Liberal Lens with Professor Michael Douma

In this episode of The Rational Egoist, host Michael Liebowitz welcomes Professor Michael J. Douma, Associate Professor of History at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business, to discuss the classical liberal method of interpreting history. Douma explains how a classical liberal approach values individual agency, economic freedom, and limited government while examining historical events.

Through this lens, they explore how understanding history from a classical liberal perspective can reveal insights often overlooked in mainstream historical narratives. Tune in for an enlightening conversation on how this approach shapes our understanding of the past and informs our views on current events.
