Those who believe in freedom and personal responsibility should take personal responsibility for defending freedom. In this long polemical essay, philosopher Ben Irvine calls on conservatives to be more confident in their views, and more active in promoting them. While recounting his own journey as a conservative intellectual, Irvine diagnoses what went wrong for conservatism in the UK, and offers a few tips on how to set things right. An essay that will provoke and inspire in equal measure.
