Dear John, 

How did we become such a decadent society? Why does decadence always lead to decay?

You’ll hear better answers than you’ve probably heard before when you listen to the new episode of Conservative Conversations with ISI.

The episode is up now. 

Hit play to hear our conversation with Ross Douthat, known as “the rare pundit who has managed to keep his head . . .”

Tune in to hear about:

• How optimism and pessimism are defining debates on the right
• What the term “neo-liberalism” actually means
• How to encourage dynamic change while preserving local communities
• Why conservatives need to fight the impulse to become traditionalists
• The signs of America’s decadent decline (yes, they include Marvel movies)
•  . . . and much more!
