I got a chance to visit with Dr. Dan Pitt, co-author of Intellectual Conservatism: From Burke to Scruton. We focussed on a chapter he wrote which offers a brilliant rubric for understanding conservatism -- one of the best I've seen.
Dr. Pitt offers an attractive view beyond the status-quo liberalism in which all political parties operate, for the most part.
Plenty of laughs, profound points, and notable quotes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
