"By the Sweat of Your Brow You Shall Labor"
The 2022 First Things Lecture in Washington, D.C.
Delivered by Josh Mitchell
Identity politics—the politics of innocence and transgression—has become a fever in America. It is the reigning orthodox on this left, to which conservatives have no clear answer. In this lecture Dr. Josh Mitchell will survey longer developments in the conservative movement and more recent politics, with a view to clarifying the crisis in which American citizens now find themselves. Dr. Mitchell will then consider an alternative to the politics of innocence and transgression, namely, the politics of competence, and explain why a healthy American future may be built around it.
