Despatch: It’s time to remake the case for conservatism

By

Alongside CapX’s new weekly podcast The Capitalist, we’ll also be publishing a series of episodes, titled Despatch, which offer an audio version of some of our favourite pieces from the site.

To kick things off, you can listen to Emma Revell’s recent piece for CapX on the need to remake the case for conservative ideas:

To some people, the idea of remaking conservatism is an oxymoron. Conservatism is about retaining the best of what has come before, they would say, about preservation, not reinvention. But as my CPS colleague Karl Williams noted, when we announced the conference theme, Friedrich Hayek understood that ‘[i]f old truths are to retain their hold on men’s minds, they must be restated in the language and concepts of successive generations’.
