59:42Now PlayingFor more than two centuries, American 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. Levin shows that American partisanship originated in these two ideological titans' fiery debates over the French Revolution.
