/503/ Effervescent Decadence in the Third Modernity


Listen Later

On the end of the end of history and what comes next.

Phil is back on the pod, talking with George and Alex about the big themes of the podcast. In particular, we look at a recent essay in Foreign Policy by historian Christopher Clarke called "The End of Modernity".

  • To what extent was the 1989 moment as significant in Beijing as Berlin?

  • Is Trump actually Stalin (but in a good way)?

  • Is Russia the revisionist power? And if so, in what regard and what are the consequences?

  • Who says the choice is between "liberal democracy" and "authoritarian populism"?

    Then, we take your questions and comments from the past month.
