Jonathan and Simon discuss Friedrich Hayek's famous 1960 essay "Why I Am Not A Conservative". In the essay, Hayek unfolds a critique of the conservative approach to politics from a liberal perspective. By liberal, Hayek means "old Whig" and aligns himself with thinkers in the conservative pantheon like Edmund Burke and Alexis de Tocqueville. And yet he is staunchly critical of conservatives and what he perceives to be their unthinking opposition to any change and progress. Simon and Jonathan respond to some of Hayek's critiques and discuss how they point to certain weaknesses on the conservative right in contemporary politics, exposing the need for a positive statement about what conservatism can offer in today's world.
