About this Episode

In a brief addition to the Lasch Files, we discuss his essay, "The Cultural Cold War: A Short History of the Congress for Cultural Freedom." We go through the Alger Hiss case, the ACCF, the Korean War as it played out uring McCarthyism, why everything's a psyop, and how Lasch saw psychopolitics coming.
