The Dig: Reasonable Men Calming You Down with Moira Weigel
Summary
<p>Today, we’re addressing one of the most obnoxious corners of the identity politics debate. And that is the corner occupied by Right Liberals who believe that any desire to change the world is a divisive symptom of maladjusted affluenza emanating from pampered college students. Moira Weigel discusses her <i>Guardian</i> review of <i>The Coddling of the American Mind</i>, which makes its case by way of pragmatic folk aphorisms like: “Prepare the child for the road, not the road for the child”.</p><p>Thanks to Verso Books.
