In this episode of the 1Dime Radio Podcast, I am joined by Elijah Emery to provide a short guide to the thought of Christopher Lasch, a theorist most known for books such as "The Culture of Narcissism", "The Minimal Self", and "Revolt of the Elites." We also discuss his other works, such as "Haven and Heartless World" , "True and Only Heaven: Progress and its Critics", The New Radicalism in America,

and Agony of the American Left. Elijah and I go over some of the main themes of Lasch's work such as his critiques of the New Left, the old left, the 1960s, individualism, progressivism, and capitalist education., as well as his "Freudo-Marxist" inspired theories of primary and secondary narcissism, the decline of the family, individualism.

In the backroom (part 2 of the podcast) on Patreon, we discuss the controversies surrounding Christopher Lasch's later views on Religion, the Family, Populism, and the looming question as to whether he became a conservative towards the end of his life.
