The intellectual landscape of the political right is ever-changing. From its early days to now, different movements and ideas have shifted the political winds and, as a result, caused intellectual conservatism to change the course of its sails. Right Ideas, our new podcast and webinar series, features discussions on various thinkers who have been critical to understanding the history of the intellectual right. In the accompanying podcast, John will interview thinkers and writers who have diagnosed our contemporary moment, such as Carl Trueman, author of The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self, and Leor Sapir, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute. We invite you to join us on this expedition through history.
