Do we need to reinvigorate the conservative movement, and is "Freedom Conservatism" the answer? This week's Defending Ideas episode addresses both of those questions and helps equip listeners to apply long-standing American principles to what seem like intractable modern political and policy challenges.
Nic Dunn is joined by
John Hood, one of the leaders behind the
Freedom Conservatism movement and a co-author of its
statement of principles. John is also the president of the
John William Pope Foundation and former president and
board member for the
John Locke Foundation, both based in North Carolina.
John articulates the vision of Freedom Conservatism, arguing that the American right still needs to stand for limited government, free enterprise, free speech, free trade, strong families, and a robust defense of American interests.
