In this month’s episode of Gabfest Reads, John Dickerson interviews Bloomberg columnist Adrian Wooldridge about his new book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1639369376/?tag=slatmaga-20" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Revolutionary Center: The Lost Genius of Liberalism</a>. In a moment when American democracy is under assault from authoritarian populists and dogmatic progressives, Wooldridge argues that liberalism itself offers the most resilient framework for pluralistic, self-correcting societies.&nbsp;Dickerson and Wooldridge discuss what liberalism really is, why both the left and right have become illiberal, and what citizens can do to defend the democratic principles on which the nation was built.Tweet us your questions @SlateGabfest or email us at gabfest@slate.com.
