The Ezra Klein Show

The second book is by historian Elizabeth FoxGenovese, which is a book called Feminism Without Illusions... a critique of liberal individualism and, again, libertarianism in modern feminism.

The third book is a book by the late University of Chicago political theorist Jean Bethke Elshtain. Her book, Public Man, Private Woman, dives deeply into how Western political theorists... have thought about man and woman and public life and private life.

I think Isabel Sahil in Generation Unbound probably makes the very strongest argument that marriage and children inside of marriage have become a very important class marker, and that IUDs change the default to infertile rather than fertile.

TaNehisi Coates, of course, is the author of the National Book Award winner, Between the World and Me, the Oprah Book Club pick, The Water Dancer.

Sandman Overture ... graphic novel. I was just totally blown away by it. It makes psychedelics look very pedestrian.

I love Stones by Kevin Young. It's a beautiful book.

You make the point at the beginning of one of your books that before we start talking about the ethics of abortion, we need to do what you call some cobweb clearing.

She's the author of Arguments about Abortion, personhood, morality, and law.

Alongside Christopher Kayser, abortion rights for and against.

Kate Griesley, your books on this are Abortion Rights For and Against, which is a dialogue with Chris Kaser, which I got a lot out of, and Arguments About Abortion.

Beyond Roe, Why Abortion Should Be Legal Even If the Fetus is a Person by David Boonin. I actually disagree with his thesis but I think it's an excellent book that anybody interested in this topic should read.

Abortion Three Perspectives by Michael Tooley, Celia Wolfe-Devine, Philip Devine and Alison Jagger.

And lastly, About Abortion by Carol Sanger.

Number one is a book that just won the Pulitzer Prize. It's called Cuba, an American History by Ada Ferrer. And what I really liked about it was that it's not a right wing or left wing story of Cuba. It's about Cuba and its intimate and very complicated relationship with the United States.

I would also recommend a novel called The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles, which is a really amazing piece of Americana. It's a story that doesn't bear, I can't sum it up for you, but it gives you many different perspectives on America of the 1950s from very many different kinds of people.

He's author of the book, Why Liberalism Failed and coauthor of the sub stack, The PostLiberal Order.

When we last spoke, you had written Why Liberalism Failed. And that was a book that has had an influence on me. Barack Obama, President Obama put it on his end of the year reading list that year.

And of course, here is the argument of my last book, Why Liberalism Failed, that both the left and the right in their various liberal guises have advanced an economic program and a social program that has particularly affected in a negative way those of less means and less education in our country.

And one of his more recent books is called The Art of Loading Brush. And it's a book of essays about agrarianism, about more local forms of economy and work.

The first book is a collection of speeches by William F Buckley Jr. entitled, Let Us Talk of Many Things. It provides a great introduction to Buckley's ideas and to Buckley's literary style and to his sense of humor.

My second book is Making It by Norman Podhoretz. This is a book that Norman Podhoretz wrote when he was still a figure on the left. He wrote this autobiography about his career in the New York intellectual world. It's published in 1967 and recently republished by the New York Review of Books.

My final book is another memoir, The Prince of Darkness by Robert D. Novak. It is an excellent introduction into American politics, into the history of the presidency, and also into some of the debates, especially the debates over the two Iraq wars that have engaged conservatives over the last half century.

His first book, God and Man at Yale, an attack on his alma mater for being too Keynesian and being too atheistic and materialistic. He was a controversial figure.

He cowrites a book with his brotherinlaw, Brent Bozell, called MCCARTHY AND HIS ENEMIES, which is almost a legalistic book. It's very long.
