A Time To Build
Yuval Levin
"A moving call to recommit to the great project of our common life." (Wall Street Journal) In a time of reactionary takes and endless noise, Yuval Levin's clear thinking and understated prose is cold water in our informational desert. Here is Levin at his best: explaining critical problems in our society and outlining how we can all address them in our spheres of influence.
We must all accept the responsibilities that come with the positions we hold, and we must ensure that obligations and restraints actually protect and empower us. We need to inhabit these institutions, love them, and reform them to help make them more lovely to others as well.
