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, Aaron Irion engages with political theorist Matt McManus to discuss his new book The Political Theory of Liberal Socialism. The conversation examines the intellectual roots of liberal socialism, the project of retrieval that animates McManus’s method, and the contemporary political stakes of revisiting this neglected tradition. McManus outlines the book’s central principles—methodological collectivism paired with normative individualism, a developmental ethic, and a commitment to participatory liberal‑democratic institutions—and explains how these ideas draw on figures as varied as Mary Wollstonecraft, John Stuart Mill, John Rawls, Karl Marx, Chantal Mouffe, and others.
