In the aftermath of October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a savage assault on Jews and ignited a global bonfire of hatred, we’ve witnessed a surge in attacks against Jews. Synagogues have been defaced, Jewish students harassed on campus, Jews assaulted and even lit on fire, and online bile spewed endlessly. These are manifestations of an enduring plague.

Prolific author and public intellectual Adam LeBor joins me for a sober conversation about the rise of Jew hatred.

Dr. Calum Nicholson has become a close friend. We first met in Hungary in 2021. Since then, we’ve had countless spirited dinners together while hashing out the world’s problems over bottles of wine. He’s sincere, thoughtful, and not afraid to question assumptions.

With neoliberalism being all the rage, a key question in this conversation was: Is the neoliberal order collapsing? Similar to a recent conversation I had with Philip Pilkington ,understanding the end of the prevailing world order and what comes next is, if I may say so, a tad ahead of the curve. As the existing global order becomes increasingly disrupted, we’ll see more discussions like this (but perhaps with less informed conversants).

This is one of the best and most important conversations I’ve ever had. Dr. Ralph Schoellhammer is an Austrian political scientist, Head of Center for Applied History at MCC Budapest, scholar, and a terrific person. He’s forthright in his speech, incredibly well read and knowledgeable, thoughtful, open to criticism, and intellectually nimble.

This episode features discussions on economics, touching on world news and the idea of an economic bloc being formed. It compares the US military comparison against others, debating economic power versus military might, and more.

Find my two previous conversations with Ralph here and here.
