On Quinn Slobodian's latest for the @LAReviewofBooks and how we study the relationship between the Alt Right and American neoliberalism since the 1990s.

"The sooner we stop intellectually profiling the Right and its myriad complexities, the better."

Had I known that “historian” was a job, as a 5 year old, I’d have chosen it. It’s the very best thing to do, save being a designer or futurist, and really these are all the same thing.

How accurate is the new movie Young Washington?

Watch as Edward Lengel, Colleen Shogan, @ProfGregJackson and I have an in-depth conversation with the film's director @JonErwin13 on the history versus storytelling in the movie.

This brilliant definition of neoliberalism, often attributed to Adolph Reed alone, comes from this 2015 Socialist Register article co-authored w/ Mark Dudzic. https://t.co/2CKBTJeZP7

The national mood was dark. Americans were dealing with a lost war, a disgraced ex-president, and stagflation. In this episode, we travel back to the summer of '76 — 1976. And the big bicentennial!

Don't know why, but the introduction to the Cold War liberalism volume is now available online for free. Check it out if you're interested in the history and current state of U.S. liberalism https://t.co/ig2Tg5AQiw

Journalism and the 24/7 Presidency.

[Dialectical Zach-Zack Loeffler @thezachloeffler]

Everyone (paraphrased well by Alex Ross): Horkheimer and Adorno avoided the term “Marxism” and gave up on enlightenment reason.
Horkheimer and Adorno: “the rescue of enlightenment is our concern,” and by “enlightenment,” we principally mean “the radical impulses of Marxism.”

Coming up on the podcast this week:

Tomorrow: Chuck Todd on journalism in the Age of Trump

Friday: Jeremi Suri and Jeffrey Engel on the strange summer of '76. Not 1776. 1976! The Bicentennial.

[Samuel Moyn 🔭 @samuelmoyn]

I wrote a book!
The pub date is tomorrow!
It's about age as a big factor in the distribution of power in American society (including, most important, the sociology of class)!
It's full of facts and stories!
Last day to preorder it-which would mean a lot!

Not wrong. Academia is full of bullies.

@fstflofscholars If your out of the gate move is to ignore bad actors and pretend they're just trying to have a conversation while they smear you, you will end up smeared and they will keep doing it.

@daniel_dsj2110 Too true. My version of this is an interview with Norman Lear. Great stuff.
