    I read the summary of the book. It all seems to be stuff we've known about the fed for a long time now.

    I'm not sure why liberal outlets that seem to endorse it also endorse the Keynesian policies that are being discussed in the book and a president who panders to them.

    The vid is about so much more than that.  I'm unable to sum it up, or I would.

    Okay I made it 32 minutes and no mention of the fed. Is it all just about modern conservatism or does he talk about anything intellectual? All about nothing so far really. bat mobile

    I listened to it... About half way I started to surf web but kept it playing in background so I heard end...
    To summarize: Conservatives are evil white men. Libertarians are evil white men that smoke pot. And Liberals are good, good, good and ALWAYS vote democratic...

    My mistake. I read a synopses of his book. I guess his presentation was entirely different.

    Video summary. All problems we face are because of conservatives. Liberals will save us while conservatives will ruin us.
     
    I feel the speaker is confusing classical liberalism with liberalism of today. Or maybe I am?
    The speaker calls Thomas Paine a liberal but wasn't he a classical liberal?(closer to a libertarian then a liberal in today's standards)

Talking about the growing gap in income levels, both parents having to work and not being able to save without mentioning them is ridiculous and plain trash. I wouldn't waist my time watchingbat mobile

    As I understand it, yes, you've got it right. Today's liberals are actually leftists.
     
    Of course, these definitions are fluid depending on who is doing the defining.

    Ironic since liberal policies destroy economies

    Only if you mean destroy by taking away any differences that makes us unique in the name of equality for the greater good of all! It would be easier if we were all just Chinese or robots or Chinese robots. Liberal ones of course :)
