Men of the People

To mark the arrival of The Dispatch’s new website, Jonah invites Kevin Williamson back to the Remnant for another nerdishly random conversation. They begin by discussing the oppression of the QWERTY keyboard, strange quirks of the free market, and the benefits of democracy, before turning to the legacy of the New Deal and pressing matters of rank punditry. Will the Remnant ever become the majority? Have Kevin’s anarchic instincts mellowed? And what does the future hold for The Dispatch?  Show Notes: - Kevin’s page at The Dispatch - The story of QWERTY - The horseshoe crab: same as it ever was? - Jonah: “Slouching Towards the Old World” - Robert Higgs’ Crisis and Leviathan - Amity Shlaes' The Forgotten Man - Kevin’s The End Is Near and It’s Going to Be Awesome - Kevin: “‘A Normal Politician’” -  The Remnant (hosted by Sarah Isgur) with Jonathan Swan Learn more about your ad choices.
