About this episode
In this eclectic and incisive episode of The Easy Chair, recorded June 2, 1986, R.J. Rushdoony draws a direct line from Romanticism’s reckless idealism to the political, educational, and moral chaos of modern life. From butterfly-chasing libertines and forged poetry to suicidal revolutionaries and the failures of public education, Rushdoony exposes how utopian fantasies erode law, virtue, and reality itself. He also surveys privatization efforts in the UK, chronicles Christian alternatives to state welfare, and calls attention to legal battles threatening Christian schools. Tune in for sharp cultural critique, forgotten history, and a rallying cry for Christian action.
