From Russ Douthat's 01/13/19 NYT editorial, Fox News vs Conservatism

When the market is our only language

Often, when I see, hear or read exciting, transforming, confirming - whatever the adjective - things on the television, the radio, the newspaper, or even in real life, I find it hard to relocate the source later.  So, I store them here.  I don't want to lose this powerful conversation just because I am unable to find it again.  Below, as is often typical of what Krista Tippit gives us, is one of those things.

On Being with Krista Tippit and Anand Giridharadas:  When the market is our only language.

This is a conversation that I should try to listen to annually or even every six months.

Here are some other links:
