Kresta in the Afternoon – June 21, 2023 – Hour 2

We continue from Acton University! John Pinheiro discusses liberalism and the American founding, and Brandon Vaidyanathan explains what is meant by an organizational culture. 

 

Understanding an Organizational Culture

Many of us spend long hours working with people and in environments that profoundly shape us, often in ways that we remain oblivious to. We talk with Brandon Vaidyanathan about why organizational culture is so powerful, how it shapes us, and how we might be able to shape it in turn.

How Liberal was the American Founding?

Self-styled  “post-liberals” have criticized the American founding as a fatally flawed Enlightenment project, rooted in the false, radically individualist anthropology of “liberalism” as they define it.  We talk with Dr. John Pinheiro about this question of Liberalism and the American Founding.
