Cass and his American Compass have been a welcome addition to the Washington, D.C. policy firmament. He is an economist who recognizes the limits of economics. A conservative who stresses the necessity of defining what must be conserved. A policy wonk who understands the primacy of the common good. (To see what I mean, give his January 2020 FIRST THINGS essay “The Problem with the Culture Problem” a read.)


In short, Cass is exactly what I look for in a FIRST THINGS lecturer. Please join us for what promises to be an illuminating discussion of conservatism in the secular age on Monday, March 4.
