/461/ Welcome to the World of the Right ft. Michael C. Williams

On radical conservatism and global order. Professor Michael C. Williams talks to George and Alex about his co-authored World of the Right and how the radical right has gone global. We discuss: Does academia takes the Right as seriously as it should? What's the difference between the radical right and the far right, the new right, national conservatives, or fascists? How is the right 'global' – not just through international conferences but by being "co-constituted by its relation to the global"? Why is the radical right focused on the global liberal managerial elite? What does it get right and what does it get wrong about this stratum? How did the radical right come to take Gramsci seriously? Is the radical right just parasitic on the breakdown of liberal universalism? What does this analysis of the radical right say about the Left – is it the force that protects the status quo of the liberal international order?
