About this listen

Ideology Unbound is a podcast from the Illiberalism Studies Program at George Washington University and hosted by Laura K. Field. We talk about the past and future of ideologies, and about liberalism and its challenges, with thinkers in the United States and around the world.

In this episode, Laura Field engages with Russell Muirhead to discuss his book, Ungoverning: The Politics of Chaos and the Attack on the Administrative State, co-authored with Nancy L. Rosenblum. They explore the evolution of conspiracism in politics, the concept of ungoverning, and the challenges faced by the administrative state. Muirhead emphasizes the importance of governmental capacity, the dangers of personal command over policy-making, and the implications of violence in society. The conversation also touches on the legitimacy of grievances against bureaucracy, the role of cultural recognition, and the need for effective civic education.
