Who wants to go see Domenico Losurdo discuss the problematic legacy of political and economic liberalism for radical politics? Anyone living here in New York and interested in the history of the Left should attend. I just finished writing up a draft of a review of his book, Liberalism: A Counter-History.
In writing it, I have read pretty much all of Losurdo’s work that has been translated into English. While I disagree with his interpretation in certain important respects, his critique of liberalism must be taken very seriously.
Hi Ross — This looks interesting. See you there? Are you posting your review before or after the talk?
Look forward to reading it–

It would be great if you came, too! I can send you my draft of the review, but it probably needs some serious editing.
Hi, Ross — Sure, please email me the draft of your review. Losurdo’s talk raised a number of questions and definitely inspired me to read his work.
