The Rational Egoist: Understanding the Three Languages of Politics with Arnold Kling In this episode of The Rational Egoist, host Michael Liebowitz welcomes Arnold Kling, economist, scholar, and author of The Three Languages of Politics, to discuss the frameworks through which different political groups communicate and understand the world. Kling breaks down the core concepts from his book, explaining how progressives, conservatives, and libertarians each use distinct "languages" to frame political issues. He also touches on his Substack, In My Tribe, where he continues to explore the intersection of politics and communication. Tune in for a fascinating conversation that sheds light on how these differing perspectives shape political discourse and policy debates. Michael Leibowitz, host of The Rational Egoist podcast, is a philosopher and political activist who draws inspiration from Ayn Rand’s philosophy, advocating for reason, rational self-interest, and individualism. His journey from a 25-year prison sentence to a prominent voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities highlights the transformative impact of embracing these principles. Leibowitz actively participates in political debates and produces content aimed at promoting individual rights and freedoms. He is the co-author of “Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime” and “View from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Liberty,” which explore societal issues and his personal evolution through Rand’s teachings.
