Episode #123 (May 13, 1986)

In this Easy Chair episode from May 1986, R.J. Rushdoony takes us on a sweeping intellectual journey—from the financial folly of paper money in revolutionary France to the rigors of Victorian prisons, the dangers of doing business in Saudi Arabia, and the buried wisdom of colonial India. With biting humor and deep conviction, Rushdoony highlights how ignorance, groupthink, and moral decay—whether in Washington, Paris, or Dhahran—continue to corrode our institutions. Tune in for sharp insights on economics, education, faith, tyranny, and the enduring importance of biblical truth in a collapsing world order.
