Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue, and the Future of the American Right - Book Talk by Stephanie Slade

Postwar American conservatism rested on "fusionism," a pairing of liberty and virtue. The Trump-era right has traded that for a muscular, will-to-power approach to governing, upending assumptions about the whole political landscape. Slade traces where the fusionist movement began, how it broke from its founding commitments, and what the country loses if fusionism is abandoned for good. She will discuss: What it means to be a conservative in the American context, and how that differs from conservatism elsewhere How the right of the postwar decades compares to the right of today Q&A with the author follows the talk.
