About this listen
If conservatives favor limited government, how limited should it be?
In this episode, Dan McCarthy explores that unexpected convergence on the American Right. We revisit the late-20th-century debates between libertarians, paleoconservatives, and neoconservatives over trade, borders, national sovereignty, and the growing power of the federal state and why those arguments are resurfacing today in the New Right.
The discussion turns to a deeper question: whether either the market or the modern bureaucratic state can sustain the families, churches, and local communities conservatives seek to preserve. Drawing on thinkers like Robert Nisbet and the idea sometimes called “Tory anarchism,” this episode asks how much authority a healthy society really needs.
