Political theorist Matt McManus joins to discuss his new book The Political Theory of Liberal Socialism, which argues that liberalism and socialism are not opposites but allies in the fight for freedom and equality. He traces a tradition from Mill to Rawls that sees true liberty as requiring economic justice, and explains why reclaiming this egalitarian liberalism is essential despite its modern associations with technocratic centrism.
