On this episode of the Discovery Institute Podcast, host David Boze interviews Dr. Richard Weikart about the concept behind a loaded term that President Obama recently used to declaim Rep. Paul Ryan's budget proposal--"Social Darwinism." Popularized in the 1950s, the term carries connotations of racism, eugenics, and Nazism.
