For more than two centuries, our political life has been divided
between a party of progress and a party of conservation. In "The
Great Debate," Yuval Levin explores the origins of the left/right
divide by examining the views of the men who best represented each
side of that debate at its outset: Edmund Burke and Thomas Paine.
In a groundbreaking exploration of the roots of our political
order, Levin shows that American partisanship originated in the
debates over the French Revolution, fueled by the fiery rhetoric of
these ideological titans.
Levin masterfully shows how Burke's and Paine's differing views, a
reforming conservatism and a restoring progressivism, continue to
shape our current political discourse--on issues ranging from
abortion to welfare, education, economics, and beyond. Essential
reading for anyone seeking to understand Washington's often
acrimonious rifts, "The Great Debate" offers a profound examination
of what conservatism, liberalism, and the debate between them truly
amount to.
