Can We Keep It?

Tony Mills, a senior fellow at AEI whose work focuses on science policy and political theory, joins the Remnant for an ultra-nerdy exploration of the American political tradition. He and Jonah examine whether liberalism alone can sustain the United States and why our experts have fallen into such low repute. Is free market capitalism corrosive? Why is civic republicanism important? And what are the advantages and disadvantages of bureaucracy?   Show Notes: - Tony’s page at AEI - The Remnant with Yuval Levin - Tony: “Liberalism is Not Enough” - Tony: “Illiberalism’s True Colors” - Russell Kirk and Lionel Trilling - The Remnant with Daniel Hannan - Daniel Burns: “Liberal Practice vs. Liberal Theory” - Schumpeter’s Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy - Daniel Bell’s The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism - James Burnham’s The Managerial Revolution - Orwell: “Second Thoughts on James Burnham” - Jonah on beastly bureaucracy - Tony: “Unmasking Scientific Expertise” Learn more about your ad choices.
