What if I told you that Christmas—the holiday we know and love so well—was a capitalist Conspiracy to indoctrinate the working class into bourgeois culture and values? At one end of the Conspiracy was the very real circle of New York City antiquarians and aristocrats trying to snuff out earlier forms of the holiday, replacing these folk practices with the distinctly quiet, calm, peaceful, productive, contemplative, bourgeois form of the holiday we know today. At the other end stands their greatest creation—the defrocked bishop Santa Claus and his apparently vast, never-ceasing workshops fed by partially enslaved elf labor.Clement Clarke Moore, “A Visit from St. Nicholas” (1823)Pintard, Letters, Vol. II: 1821-1827; Vol. II: 1828-1831Clark, Christopher.

On episode 10 of American History Too! we arrive at the tumultuous 1960s. To help us better understand this controversial decade, Malcolm assumes host duties as Mark guides us through the presidency of Lyndon Johnson and his ambitious search for the ‘Great Society’. What did Johnson mean by a ‘Great Society’? What did he achieve? And why did he leave the presidency as a ‘broken and dispirited’ figure? And what in the world does a bill about rat extermination have to do with all of this? Serious academic rigour aside, we engage in a discussion about the tallest and shortest presidents, Mark (briefly and horribly) attempts a Southern accent, while Malcolm marvels in the historical amnesia of ‘Guns or Butter’ advocates. Finally, we depart to the dulcet tones of one-hit wonder and apparent crystal ball owner, Barry McGuire, wand his eerily accurate 1965 song, ‘Eve of Destruction’. Thanks again for listening and we’ll be back soon with a discussion of the JFK assassination.

In her new book The Faculty Lounges: And Other Reasons Why You Won’t Get The College Education You Pay For (Ivan R. Dee, 2011), Naomi Schaefer Riley, former Wall Street Journal editor and affiliate scholar at the Institute for American Values, critically examines the tenure system. She believes “tenure . . . is eroding American education from the inside out” and places too much emphasis on research and not enough on teaching. In our interview, we talked about why tenure does not help students get a better education, why faculty donations went 8:1 in favor of Barack Obama in the 2008 election, and how much the government spends to subsidize academic articles. Read all about it, and more, in Riley’s provocative new book. Please become a fan of “New Books in Public Policy” on Facebook, if you haven’t already. Learn more about your ad choices.
