I don't like Christopher Hitchens much. (Okay, I don't like him at all - and I find his anti-religious cottage industry to be a little too contrived for someone who's as obviously smart as he is - regardless of whether or not it's a valid argument).
But I do like the hour-long interview he did with Russ Roberts on the EconTalk podcast. The conversation weaves and winds from Orwell to India to the British Empire to war to peace to socialism to communism to facism to language to the Spanish Civil War to leftism, rightism and centrism.
