Good interview. One reason I think this might have legs on the right is the excessive lengths movement-employed conservatives and libertarians go to attack @oren_cass in every venue they have. They don't do that if it's just a random gadfly. (1/3)https://twitter.com/EricLevitz/status/1303311304988471301 …

People are talking about Rubio on the letter, but the presence of Yuval Levin probably matters the most, as he's a very upstream thinker (most downstream conservative writers mimic his arguments) and someone they'll look to for defining post-Trump.

That said if I was betting: my guess is the right all goes libertarian again if a President Biden proposes anything, and we'll have to spend the near future pretending libertarianism is anything other than an elaborate question-begging exercise. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (3/4)

Mike KonczalVerified account @rortybombPump this straight into my veins: during an 1980s Michael Novak symposium trying to get conservatives to embrace a message of civil society, a paper had to be rewritten to include Exxon as an example of a mediating institution.

What's interesting is how quickly Berger, Novak & Neuhaus revised themselves. As late as 1975 (only a few years before this) Berger's Pyramids of Sacrifice was very critical of corporate capitalism.
