18: The Struggle to Define Liberalism in the 21st Century, with Jay Shapiro
FEBRUARY 9, 2021
EPISODE NOTES
Why does nothing seem to make sense, anymore? Why do all of our important words seem so slippery, and our definitions ever harder to define? What is a liberal? What really is a conservative? And what does 'liberalism' - the philosophy that undergirds the foundation of American society - actually mean today? Writer and filmmaker Jay Shapiro has spent much of his life trying to figure out society's most confounding dilemmas.
