# "Ideological Dorks" **URL:** **By** Jonah Goldberg, Trevor Burrus **Published:** October 9, 2015 --- Jonah Goldberg joins us for a discussion on what unites intellectual conservatives and libertarians and the history of the political left. "Your hero economists are my hero economists." We talk about a variety of topics on this episode, including cultural conservativism and libertarianism, whether libertarians are more at home on the right or left, Goldberg's 2009 book, _Liberal Fascism_, and the rise of outsider candidates on the political right and what they may (or may not) be signalling about the preferences of the electorate. **Show Notes and Further Reading** Goldberg's books, [_The Tyranny of Clichés: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas_](http://www.amazon.com/The-Tyranny-Clich%C3%A9s-Liberals-Cheat/dp/1595231021) (2013) and [_Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Change_](http://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Politics/dp/0767917189) (2009).
