The Heartland Institute’s Tim Benson is joined by Andrew J. Bacevich to discuss the anthology he edited for the Library of America, American Conservatism: Reclaiming an Intellectual Tradition. They talk about the origination of the project, why the book’s start date was the 20th Century and not earlier, and the importance for everyone, not just conservatives, to understand this tradition. They also chat about why certain pieces and certain authors were chosen, Bacevich’s decision to exclude neoconservatives from the volume, and the intellectual future of conservatism.
