Success Made to Last Author's Corner with Dr. Ben Wiker

from Success Made to Last Legends · host Success Made to Last

I am fond of saying that all bad ideas start with Rousseau go through Marx, then Gramsci, and land with Marcuse and Foucalt in the 1960’s and 70’s. Professor Wiker’s book, 10 Books that Screwed Up the World, goes back before Rousseau to The Prince, covering the usual and not so usual subjects all the way to the last, The Feminine Mystique. Professor Wiker and I had a great time talking about what Orwell called “ideas so absurd only an intellectual could believe them”.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.
