Jack BrustkernLet's talk Adam Smith
This past fall, I sat in on a wonderful course taught by the respected Professor Henry Clark discussing Adam Smith and his ideas. In order to learn the material well I made the goal of giving a lecture (to a singular patient and generous family member) which I recorded, for on the one hand to motivate myself to be thorough and disciplined in my study of Smith, and also to have something to look back on and share with others if they ever happy to have a hankering for some Smith.
Jack BrustkernAlan Kahan on Liberalism as "freedom from fear"
I recently saw Alan Kahan give a talk on his recent book, arguing that liberalism has taken form over the ages based on responses to various fears. This is his case:Four major liberalismsProto-liberalism: from religious persecution like that of Cromwell’s persecution of Catholics. Protoliberalism was led by Smith and Montesquieu.

For awhile I have researched into interest areas and scratched down ideas in various places. Today I decided to begin writing these findings here. I don’t plan to spend time building an audience, but if people would like to read what I’m writing they are welcome to.

“Why” turns into “why not” pretty quickly around here, and I like that.
Onward!
