In this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. Graham McAleer discuss his book Security Ethics: Commerce and Crime in a Polycentric World, which explores the complex interplay between organized crime, business ethics, and philosophical perspectives on security. Dr. McAleer emphasizes the often-overlooked role of non-state actors in maintaining order and the ethical dilemmas posed by the intersection of profit motives and societal good. Their discussion also touches on cultural liminal spaces, the ethics of organ trade, and the implications of anarchism in contemporary governance.

Who thinks that they can subdue Leviathan? Strength resides in its neck; dismay goes before it. When it rises up, the mighty are terrified. Nothing on earth is its equal. It is without fear. It looks down on all who are haughty; it is king over all who are proud. 

These words inspired PJ Wehry to create Chasing Leviathan. Chasing Leviathan was born out of two ideals: that truth is worth pursuing but will never be subjugated, and the discipline of listening is one of the most important habits anyone can develop. 

Every episode is a dialogue, a journey into the depths of a meaningful question explored through the lens of personal experience or professional expertise.
