TRH’s editor, Dan Hummel, talks to Samuel Goldman about our May essay, “A Modest Case for the Good Life (Or, A Good Case for the Modest Life).”
In the conversation Sam recommended Robert Nisbet’s The Degradation of the Academic Dogma and William F. Buckley’s God and Man at Yale. We also discussed Hugh Heclo’s On Thinking Institutionally and Donald Downs’ Cornell ‘69.
Samuel Goldman is an associate professor of political science at George Washington University. He is on Twitter/X at @SWGoldman.
