Season 2, Episode 10: Chris Coyne: In Search of Monsters to Destroy: The Folly of American Empire and the Paths to Peace

Send us a text


Join Professors Jeffrey Sachs and Chris Coyne, economist and
author of In Search of Monsters to Destroy: The Folly of American
Empire and the Paths to Peace, for an eye-opening examination on
whether interventionist methods should ever have a place in
foreign policy. 


Together, they discuss American imperialism and militaristic
culture around the world, proving that nonviolent approaches to
domestic and international conflicts not only minimize violence,
but also promote cultures of peace throughout the world. Coyne
presents his compelling arguments as to why such interventions
are a threat to liberal values and alternative methods can
preserve freedom and promote security between nations.
