In economics, Phil Magness is probably most famous for his synthetic control paper (with Michael Makovi) showing that Marx only became a socialist superstar after his fanatical followers conquered Russia. In this conversation, Phil and I discuss my recent pieces on “How socialist was Nazism?” His knowledge of turn of the century intellectual history is truly astounding.
P.S. If you had any sound issues with the livestream, I don’t hear any problems on this recording.
