About this Event

Quinn Slobodian has spent years tracing the intellectual lineage of ideas that present themselves as new. His two latest books, Hayek's Bastards (a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist for criticism) and Muskism, released this March, do exactly that: they follow the money, the theory, and the rhetoric back to where it came from. Slobodian is one of the few historians working today who can make the deep structure of power legible without flattening it.

He sits down with Peter Matthews, founding editor of Heist Magazine and host of Dig Where You Stand, for a conversation recorded live at Chapters. Together they'll pull apart the language of IQ science and "debugging" society, tracing how these ideas connect to something much older and much more dangerous. We are living inside arguments that were made a long time ago. This conversation traces them back to the source.
