Kirk’s The Roots of American Order, @gleaveswhitney writes, “showed how American order . . . grew out of the rich subsoil of four ancient cities: Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, and London.”

My special question concerning Pocock is his (conscious and latent) attitudes towards conservatism. This is Whatmore on the topic: "Toleration was one outcome, making Pocock appear a liberal to some and a conservative to others, an outcome he would have found gratifying."

Is the “first wave” of democratization nothing but a compelling political myth? My review of David Art’s “The Resilience of the Old Regime” @LawLiberty explores this question and more.

If Hume, why not Smith?
Classical liberals, libertarians, and some progressives have embraced Adam Smith, but how about conservatives? I will address this question in my @Penn talk this Wednesday. Join us!

I wrote an article about Edmund Burke and plantation slavery. It chopped and changed a lot in the review process, but I think it contains some insights that others might find useful. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
Pistol-whipping aspirants+devotees of classical literature+defenders of liberty: Burke+Fox had many similarities, but the French Revolution severed their friendship. Here's my @IndependentInst review of James Grant's eminently readable+entertaining new book on their relationship.

Join us if you are in the Philly region for a great series to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Smith’s Wealth of Nations!
This fall, the Penn Initiative for the Study of Markets (which I direct) has organized a series of events celebrating the 250th anniversary of the publication of “The Wealth of Nations.”
The flyer provides all details. All events are open to the public. Registration is encouraged for the seminars, but it is required for the special exhibition because physical space at the library is limited. Registered participants will also have the opportunity to receive a free Liberty Fund edition of “The Wealth of Nations.”
Registration form:

This should be an interesting occasion to learn more about a fundamental book in the history of economic thought.

My new book is released in one week @PrincetonUPress. John Dunn: “Since the United Kingdom is still unique in retaining an unwritten constitution, the contours of which recede into the mists of time, Max Skjönsberg’s impressively accomplished and up-to-date study of the key centuries of struggle to define its spirit shows why that struggle is unlikely to end until the state itself does.” press.princeton.edu/books/ha…
