Three New Deals: Reflections on Roosevelt’s America, Mussolini’s Italy, and Hitler’s Germany, 1933-1939 (Wolfgang Schivelbusch)
It was as a result of this discussion, of Three New Deals, that my program came to be called Foundationalism. And here, learning from movements of the past, I offer thoughts about how Foundationalism can be brought to pass (although I would be less negative about small-scale farming now; this article was first published November 26, 2018.)

On the Marble Cliffs (Ernst Jünger)
The third book in Jünger's (unrecognized) trilogy about tyranny—not in the abstract, but how to live in relation to, and what to do about, tyranny. Any relationship to current events in the West is pure coincidence, of course.

Throw Back Thursday: I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead: The Dirty Life and Times of Warren Zevon (Crystal Zevon)
Something new: Throw Back Thursday, in which I showcase older articles that newer readers may have missed. This is, for once, not political. Rather, it is an oral history of the ultra-talented Warren Zevon, warts and all.

Against Counsels of Defeat
