Andrew Hale, senior fellow at Advancing American Freedom, discusses the fracturing of American conservatism and the rise of post-liberalism within the Republican Party. He examines the ideological tensions between traditional free-market conservatives and the emerging nationalist-protectionist wing represented by figures like JD Vance, exploring how Catholic integralism and economic populism are reshaping the Right. Hale defends classical liberal principles while analyzing the political forces driving America's shift away from the post-Cold War consensus on trade, markets, and global leadership.
This episode is produced in partnership with the New North America Initiative at the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary. From the shifting ideologies of the new Right and the new Left in the U.S., this multi-month series will bring Canadians inside debates on trade, globalization, and power that are likely to shape America’s policy direction—and Canada’s interests—for the years and decades to come.
The New North America Initiative is generously funded in part by the Government of Alberta.
