Shadi Hamid joins the pod to discuss his new book The Problem of Democracy (which you ought to buy ASAP), whether democracy "works," whether things should even be expected to "work," and whether Americans can afford to be post-liberal...in addition to several hot takes on Jordan B. Peterson, Patrick Deneen, Houellebecq, the "decadence" of Islam, why I'm not Muslim (but sometimes wish I was), Sharia vs. Catholic social teaching, Ramy, and sufism.
