The SitRoom Ep #77: Larry Kanarek and Ryan Williams
This episode of The SitRoom features a discussion with Larry Kanarek, Managing Director of McKinsey's DC office and Ryan Williams, President of the Claremont Institute and Publisher of the Claremont Review of Books.
Ryan Williams
President of the Claremont Institute, and Publisher of the Claremont Review of Books.
--- Responding to "White Fragility" and the African American History Museum's "White Culture Memo," Ryan suggested that we read these two recent rebuttals: Preserving the American Way of Life by Claremont Chairman Thomas D. Klingenstein and Racism, Revised by William Voegeli.
--- “While racism was always in contradiction with the founding principles,” Ryan explained that “the left today is trying to not only construct problems where they don’t exist, but they are trying to completely reinvent the American way of life.”
--- In a sobering call-to-action, Ryan closed by arguing that “Conservatives ought to become more like the progressives of old: anti-corporate and grassroots because the leaders of our major corporations have become increasingly anti-American.”
Larry Kanarek
Managing Director of McKinsey and Co’s Washington, D.C. office.
--- Larry warned that the rise of the illiberal left is “possibly the greatest threat to the nation,” as the left has been able to “reshape and redefine the national conversation without anyone taking notice.”
--- In doing so, Larry argued that this has led to “the rapid growth of government, to a size never before seen… while any one of Bush’s wars, Obama’s social spending, and Trump’s tax cuts alone could be defended, the combination of the three will have catastrophic fiscal consequences.”
--- However, Larry is most concerned about the corruption of our institutions, noting that “It used to be that education was only about developing critical thinking, but increasingly, education is an indoctrination process.”
--- Larry’s blog, The Contrarian, is updated regularly with the best insights from 35 years leading McKinsey.
