Please join us Thursday, May 28, at noon PDT for an online lecture featuring Chris Arnade, author of Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America. Discovery Institute’s Christopher F. Rufo will interview Arnade about the dynamics of American poverty, his long road trips through America’s “forgotten cities,” and the political dimension of anti-poverty policy. 

Christopher Rufo examines the intellectual renaissance occurring on the American Right. While many conservatives have long held faith in what scholar Oren Cass has dubbed "free-market fundamentalism," new factions such as populists and nationalists are challenging the old order. 

George Gilder writes in the Wall Street Journal that in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic our country has been "driven by the undemocratic idea that 'science' should rule, even when much of the science and the data behind it remain in dispute."

Discovery Senior Fellow Jay Richards ponders why a free people that have always put a premium on liberty acquiesced to prolonged draconian lockdowns. The key, says Richards, is that we were told other people's lives were at stake. That is, the lines that normally tell us where our freedom ends and our neighbor's begins, were blurred.
