S2E9 | Gordon Menzies ‘Liberalism as fundamentalism?’

Gordon's book is available on Amazon now; https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0817QK9KR Rob and Gordon discuss issues arising from Gordon’s 2020 book Western Fundamentalism in which he critiques the unquestioning, and therefore ‘fundamentalist,’ adoption of democracy, free marked economic liberalism and sexual freedom as basic. Rob and Gordon discuss why liberalism has been so effective in producing economic prosperity but why it is ineffective if spread to other areas of human life. They discuss the nature of freedom and whether liberalism itself may be naive about evils – especially in relation to issues of aggressive woke politics. Good policy leads to great outcomes.
