Edmund Burke, Thomas Paine, and the Birth of the Left and Right

Conservative intellectual Yuval Levin and the National Constitution Center's Jeffrey Rosen explore 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 and Rosen will bring the conversation to today’s political discourse—on issues ranging from abortion to welfare, education, economics, and beyond.
