About this episode

The episode discusses the evolution of liberalism in the U.S. over the last fifty years with guests Lily Geismer and Brent Cebul.

I spoke with Lily Geismer and Brent Cebul about their recent book, Mastery and Drift: Professional Class Liberals Since the 1960s. We discussed what we mean when we talk about liberal as a political philosophy, and how the application of that principle has evolved in the last half-century in the United States especially, and consider the notable shortcomings that have resulted. Mastery and Drift: Professional-Class Liberals Since the 1960s Music is by Evan Schaeffer
