The New Liberal Podcast

What role did Henry George play in the development of liberalism? Chris England is a lecturer at Georgetown University and author of the new book "Land and Liberty: Henry George and the Crafting of Modern Liberalism", and he joins the show to discuss George's place in American history and the history of liberalism. We discuss George's influence on liberal thought, why George's ideas became a huge political movement and then died out, how Georgists clashed with Progressives, and what we can learn from Georgism's rise and fall as a movement.

In a flash episode recorded hours after the news of Donald Trump's indictment in New York, Jeremiah walks through the essentials of what you need to know. Why is Donald Trump being indicted, and what are the potential charges he may face? What does this mean for the rule of law, and for the stability of the American political system? How will Trump try to fight the charges? And should we feel happy that Trump's behavior has caught up to him, or sad that our political system has fallen so far?
