About this episode
Douglas Wilson discusses the implications of Trump's tariffs and explores themes of defilement and moral corruption.
In this episode, Douglas Wilson argues that the jury is still out on Trump’s tariffs, and the predicted instantaneous ruin did not materialize. He continues his hamartiological curriculum on miaino , or defilement, tracing its use from ceremonial uncleanness to moral corruption, bitterness, and false teaching, before closing with a review of Augustine and the Jews by Paula Fredrickson.
