Description
This week, Dan Hugger, Dylan Pahman, and John Pinheiro discuss the undoing of the Truss government in the United Kingdom. What caused the unraveling? Does “neoliberalism” have a future? What does the current political crisis in the United Kingdom tell us about the future of American conservatism and the right more generally? How should this inform our thinking about the conflict between classical liberals and the “New Right”?
Our panel then explores technology through the lens of the new “Unplugged Scholarship” being offered at Franciscan University of Steubenville. Is this the way forward in education, or indeed life?

Are we prepared for exponential technological growth?: <p>This week, Eric Kohn, Stephen Barrows, and Dan Churchwell discuss the new vaccine mandate President Joe Biden has announced for businesses larger than 100 employees, to be administered by OSHA. In what ways are they failing to consider the role of incentives, and what unintended consequences might this effort have? Will it just drive people further into their political corners and continue to undermine faith in our institutions? Then, they discuss a new piece in Wired from Azeen Azhar about the concept of exponential growth. Are we prepared for a time when technological growth happens at a blinding pace? Can we even effectively prepare for it? Are we at all prepared to cope with the unrest that it will create?</p><br><p><strong>Subscribe to </strong><a href="https://www.acton.org/actonunwind" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Acton Unwind</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="https://www.acton.org/actonline" re by Acton Unwind
