Lucinda Holdforth: Modern Virtues, Brené Brown, and Baby Boomer Liberalism


Listen Later

My guest today is Lucinda Holdforth who is a former speechwriter to Australian Labour leader Kim Beazley, Qantas CEO Alan Joyce, among others as well as author of several books including most recently "21st Century Virtues, How They Are Failing Our Democracy" which we reviewed for The Australian: https://nationalconservatism.org.au/culture/550/

Today we discuss:

- Whether there has been any change to modern corporate values which she was so critical of since the publication of her book

- What is the cause of these the changes to our virtues and manners - social media, self-help gurus like Brene Brown, or something else

- Her thoughts more generally about baby boomer liberalism and whether there was any great thought given to the social and economic structures which were so dramatically pulled down

And much much more.
