Bungacast Interview

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?
