In this episode of Mutual Exchange Radio, host
Zachary Woodman interviews libertarian commentator Shikha
Dalmia. Shikha is a former policy analyst for the Reason
Foundation and has contributed to publications including
Bloomberg View, the Washington
Examiner, Reason magazine, The Wall
Street Journal, and USA Today.
In this interview, we discuss two timely issues
in American politics: immigration and populism. Starting
with a philosophical discussion of what our priorities should be in
how we respond to rising populism and authoritarianism, we discuss
various options for moving forward. Should we move more radically
in order to try and protect the rights of those targeted by
populists and authoritarians -- or, as Shikha suggests, should we
focus on limiting the damage done to liberal democratic
institutions by surging populism?
Thank you for your continued support! Look out
next month for a return to more radical perspectives after this
deep dive into democracy and liberalism for the start of the
season. You can always give us feedback or suggest guests by
