Towards a Conservative Left (Ft. Michael Behrent)
Michael C. Behrent, a professor of modern European intellectual history and translator, walks us through Jean‑Claude Michéa’s contrarian thought. He explores Michéa’s mix of anti‑capitalist politics and cultural conservatism. They discuss Orwellian themes like “common decency,” the split between the working class and the professional managerial class, and what a conservative left synthesis might look like today.
