Conservatism, with Dr. Yoram Hazony

Yoram Hazony joins Matt, Derek, and Alastair to discuss his new book, Conservatism: A Rediscovery.

What hath Enlightenment Liberalism wrought? According to Dr. Yoram Hazony, chairman of the Edmund Burke Foundation, it has led us to the place we are today, where Neo-Marxism is ascendant and we cannot conceive of a higher good than consent. What’s his alternative? National Conservatism. Listen to this lively conversation with Derek, Alastair, Matt, and Dr. Hazony.
