Mere Fidelity: The Fractured Republic, with Yuval Levin

February 21st, 2017 | 2 min read

By Matthew Lee Anderson

We are thrilled to have Yuval Levin join us to discuss his important book The Fractured Republic: Renewing America’s Social Contract in an Age of Individualism. Levin is widely regarded as one of the brightest conservative thinkers working today. He helped found both National Affairs and The New Atlantis. And Andrew Wilson included Fractured Republic in his list of 2016’s best books. This is a conversation not to be missed.
