About this episode
For the past century, America's foreign interventions often carried the pretense of liberal idealism – to help bring peace and prosperity to people around the world.
But it doesn't take a history scholar to know that positive outcomes weren't always the result.
In the latest episode of the Argument, Jerusalem Demsas and Matthew Yglesias debate the merits of liberal hypocrisy, its benefits and drawbacks, and whether it's worth bringing it back.
