The Tyranny of Liberalism

James Kalb explains its inevitable logic

James Kalb is a lawyer, independent scholar, and Catholic convert who lives in Brooklyn, New York. He is the author of The Tyranny of Liberalism(ISI Books, 2008) and, most recently, Against Inclusiveness: How the Diversity Regime is Flattening America and the West and What to Do About It (Angelico Press, 2013).

In this episode, we discuss his views on liberalism:

  • how it’s based on the promise of immediate pleasure

  • how it gets the relations between men and women wrong

  • how this ruins the family and society

  • why people should care what consenting adults do in private

  • how sexuality morality should be enforced

  • why people with differing standards can’t simply live side by side

  • why we aren’t past the point of no return
