INTERVIEW
This week, Jeremy sits down with Patrick Deneen, author of Why Liberalism Failed, Professor of Political Science and Chair of the David A. Potenziani Memorial College Chair at the University of Notre Dame. Patrick specializes in the history of political thought, American political thought, religion and politics, and literature and politics. Jeremy and Patrick discuss why liberalism struggles to sustain itself, cultural rebellions seeking to preserve institutions and certain ways of life, the threat of a new kind of totalitarianism, and the future of American civil society.
