Saving the Republic

by Victor Davis Hanson

First published 2018

The United States faces deep political divisions that split Left and Right into warring camps. Constitutional principles come under attack while free speech faces new restrictions. An expanding administrative bureaucracy operates beyond elected oversight. Universities, families, and communities feel the strain of Washington's chaos. Editor Roger Kimball assembles urgent essays that revive the tradition of eighteenth-century political pamphlets. Contributors including Jay Cost, Philip Hamburger, Mollie Ziegler Hemingway, and Andrew C. McCarthy examine wealth redistribution policies, Title IX regulations, and media bias. These writers defend liberty and democratic capitalism against rising collectivist ideas. The collection provides reasoned arguments and practical wisdom for protecting American institutions when they face serious challenges.
