1. The American Cause
A spirited defense of the American founding and its constitutional order, arguing that liberty flourishes only when grounded in moral imagination, tradition, and prudent institutions rather than in abstract ideology or unchecked social engineering. The book collects essays that trace the moral and historical roots of the Republic, critiques modern egalitarian and technocratic trends that erode civic virtue, and urges a conservatism of restraint that preserves local customs, religious faith, and the rule of law as bulwarks of national character. Throughout, it calls for a renewed commitment to prudence, responsibility, and the institutions that sustain a free and ordered society.
