Guests toasted the new season with punch, hors d’ouevres, and good cheer.
On March 7, the Editors of The New Criterion sat down for an evening of food and discussion with a group of Young Friends supporters at The Knickerbocker Club.
The guest speaker of the evening was Dominic Green, a prolific contributor to The New Criterion, who discussed the enduring relevance and success of quality print magazines in the so-called “death of print” era. Green is also a regular contributor to The Wall Street Journal, The Weekly Standard, The Spectator, National Review, The Atlantic, and other various publications.
A conference with New Criterion editors and contributors.
Please join the editors of The New Criterion for a day-long conference with Members of London’s Social Affairs Unit on “Populism and its critics: how conservatives should respond to the populist challenge.
The term “populist” has been applied to charismatic leaders who appeal directly to the people, over the heads of patrician elites: a broad range of leaders, from Julius Caesar to Adolf Hitler, have borne the moniker. No useful purpose is served by comparing Donald Trump to Andrew Jackson, Teddy Roosevelt, or anybody else. His presidency doesn’t mean that American democracy is in danger, any more than Brexit means that Britain has succumbed to xenophobia. Nevertheless, populism does pose serious challenges to conservatives. There is the risk that the attack on new progressive elites will be used to attack all elites. Our conference proposes to ask how conservatives should respond to the challenges of the new politics.
We hope you will be able to join us for this timely discussion. Participants will include David Azerrad, Jeremy Black, Chris Buskirk, Douglas Carswell, Michael Gleba, Philip Hamburger, Daniel Johnson, Roger Kimball, Andrew C. McCarthy, Christopher Montgomery, Michael Mosbacher, George Nash, and James Piereson.
