Summary
<p>I'm joined today by Johnny Burtka, whose new <em>Gateway to Statesmanship</em> is a collection of writings on one of our most neglected virtues. Statesmanship is the art of leading in complex and difficult times, especially when all of the options on the table involve painful trade-offs (sound familiar?). Johnny and I discuss the changing conditions of history, the fight over "Christian nationalism," and what it would mean for a modern politician to recover the ancient virtue of prudence.</p> <p>Pick up Johnny's book, <em>Gateway to Statesmanship</em>: <a href="https://a.co/d/5XJ3C0j">https://a.co/d/5XJ3C0j</a></p> <p>Pre-order my new book, <em>Light of the Mind, Light of the World</em>: <a href="https://a.co/d/2QccOfM">https://a.co/d/2QccOfM</a></p> <p>Subscribe to my new joint Substack with Andrew Klavan (no relation): <a href="https://thenewjerusalem.substack.com">https://thenewjerusalem.substack.com</a></p> <p>Check out our sponsor, the Ancient Language Institute: <a href="https://ancientlanguage.com/youngheretics/">https://ancientlanguage.com/youngheretics/</a></p> <p>Sign up to be in the mailbag: <a href="https://rejoiceevermore.substack.com/">https://rejoiceevermore.substack.com/</a></p>
