A new review in The Wall Street Journal explores Danielle Allen's "Radical Duke."

"Allen is to be commended for her own act of resistance. She has written one of the most important, original studies of the American founding ... to appear in many years."

Got the publication date for my book🐦‍🔥 “How to Survive Authoritiarianism” is coming to Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Waterstone and all others near you this September. It’s a weird time to write about democracy & authoritarianism. https://t.co/TzmsQzyE6A

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

America’s fight for independence is often considered a battle fought and won at home. A new book argues that it was propelled by a transnational élite an ocean away. https://t.co/rxvRJfJB0U

A recent article in The New Yorker explores a new book by Danielle Allen, James Bryant Conant University Professor and Director of the Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation, "Radical Duke: How One Aristocrat—and the American Revolution—Transformed Britain."

The @NRO's @AnnaKateShelt calls Sarah Ruden's REPRODUCTIVE WRONGS: A SHORT HISTORY OF BAD IDEAS ABOUT WOMEN "a harbinger of civilizational demise", but invites you to "read the book and decide for yourself": https://t.co/JLXRvKwvlZ

[Katelyn Walls Shelton @AnnaKateShelt]

If our nation’s most highly-educated citizens are learning and teaching false histories, like Sarah Ruden does in her new book Reproductive Wrongs, we can kiss our 250-year old nation goodbye before long. Read my review in @NRO.

It seems trite to proclaim that every person matters--in the moral sense, which is generally taken to mean that, to the extent that any of us matter, we all matter to that same exact degree. But how do you prove it? My most recent Substack: https://t.co/4l2h314Nmm

This book is essential reading and deeply illuminating. In chapter 20, “Capitalism’s Big Jolt,” the author argues that without the caloric boost of sugar...reaching roughly 25 pounds per person per year in England by 1776...it would not have been metabolically possible for workers to sustain the intense demands of capitalist labor. Sugar also enabled the mass consumption of caffeinated beverages that had previously been too bitter to drink in large quantities. As a result, sugar helped usher in a “new era of alertness,” fueling the rise of coffeehouses, which in turn nurtured a new medium...the newspaper...and contributed to the intellectual ferment associated with the Enlightenment.
