CROSSOVER EPISODE - Is Liberal Democracy The Best We Can Do?
This is a crossover with the <a href="https://goodintheorypod.com/episodes/isliberaldemocracythebest">Good in Theory podcast</a>. We discuss with Clif what liberal democracy is, the arguments in its favour, and some big critiques. What is the purpose of government? How much of what we look for in good governance is shaped by our liberal democratic contexts (and particularly, the Cold War)? Episode includes Plato, Nazis and of course the Lizard People.
