This week’s show featured a lecture entitled “Some Reflections on that Uselessly Unpleasant Franco-American Relationship.” The main lecturer was Michel Rocard, a current member of the European parliament and former prime minister of France. The respondent to Rocard’s arguments was Mark Lilla, Professor of Social Thought at University of Chicago.
