Truth or Consequences

Today’s Between the Covers podcast is with Roger Kimball, who has written a foreword to a new edition of Ideas Have Consequences, the 1948 book by Richard M. Weaver. We discuss why conservatives still read this old book, why Weaver thinks Western civilization went wrong in the 14th century, and what’s new and different about this University of Chicago Press edition.

John J. Miller, the national correspondent for National Review and host of its Great Books podcast, is the director of the Dow Journalism Program at Hillsdale College. He is the author of A Gift of Freedom: How the John M. Olin Foundation Changed America.
