Episode 89: IQ Fetishism with Quinn Slobodian

from In Bed With The Right

Historian Quinn Slobodian (Crack-Up Capitalism, Hayek's Bastards, and the forthcoming Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed) walks Moira and Adrian through the fate of IQ on late 20th century and early 21st century right wing thought.

And how did it take hold so thoroughly among the Silicon Valley elite?
