Dismantling the Leftist Academic Complex: A Conversation with Roger Scruton, June 3, 2019

Editor’s note: This podcast was originally published on January 27, 2016. A new episode of Liberty Law Talk will return on June 15th with George Will on his recently released book The Conservative Sensibility.
Roger Scruton is certainly no stranger to Liberty Law Talk. His return is occasioned by Bloomsbury’s republication of his 1985 title, Fools, Frauds, and Firebrands, a book that caused tremendous academic controversy, threats against the publisher, and the book’s eventual scuttling by Longman, its original publisher. Scruton’s crime was to have attempted to take the New Left seriously, finding it severely wanting, if not absurd. We revisit the book’s fallout, discuss its ideas, and considerwww.lawliberty.org/2019/06/03... the state of contemporary Leftist thinking.

Unfortunately Classical Liberalism was no pushback. The centre Right across the Anglo-sphere has completely failed to conserve ANYTHING from 1945.

Exactly what the hell are we conserving? 😂

Not to be rude or anyting, but the host um too much. Try to minimise those interrupting and useless filler words. You had a good topic and Sir Roger, but the decent show was tainted by so many oral calculi that is the um.
