| Why it’s on the list | Irving Kristol’s retrospective collection of the essays through which he defined neoconservatism — “liberals mugged by reality” — ranging over capitalism’s cultural legitimacy, the Great Society’s unintended consequences, religion in a commercial republic, and an intellectual class that had come to despise the society paying for it. The movement’s own account of itself. |
Where I heard about it
- Brendan McCord — on his Philosopher-Entrepreneur Reading List (March 2026), under Modern Conservatism, a sub-section built as a family tree rather than a single position. Full transcription: The Philosopher-Entrepreneur Reading List.
Connections
- The Philosopher-Entrepreneur Reading List — the curriculum this card came from.
- Capitalism — the system Kristol defends while doubting its cultural self-sufficiency.
- Liberalism — the position most of these essays are departures from.
