    Remembering Jean Raspail
    (July 5, 1925–June 13, 2020)

    Jean Raspail as photographed by Pascal Parrot in 1981.

    8,709 words

    On June 13, 2020, the French explorer and novelist Jean Raspail died in Paris at the age of 94. Many were the nationalists, identitarians, and traditional Catholics who paid tribute at his passing. Former European MP and co-founder of the European identity movement Iliade, Jean-Yves Gallou, stated that Raspail was “the man who foretold the destructive impact of blame culture and anti-racism on our civilization back in 1973.”  (more…)

    Philippe-Joseph Salazar
    Suprémacistes: L’enquête Mondiale chez les Gourous de la Droite Identitaire
    Paris: Plon, 2020

    This book results from interviews with leading thinkers of the race-conscious right — the so-called alternative right — which seeks to bring race to the forefront of political debate. The title Suprémacistes is, however, misleading; for the author, Philippe-Joseph Salazar, nowhere describes the people who are the subject of this study as supremacists (more…)

    America’s Health Fix:
    Case & Deaton’s Deaths of Despair, Part II

    Anne Case and Angus Deaton.

    3,201 words

    Part I

    When Purdue Pharmaceutical introduced OxyContin, their marketing for the drug was aggressive, efficient, unscrupulous, and amoral. Resources were poured into advertising; the company spent $200 million on marketing in 2001. Sales grew from $48 million in 1996 to $1.1 billion in 2000, (more…)

    America’s Health Fix:
    Case & Deaton’s Deaths of Despair, Part I

    2,670 words

    During the 1970s and 1980s, when libertarian ideas were in the air, Ayn Rand a fashionable writer, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher had romped to power, and the Chicago Boys were invited to demonstrate the merits of free-market economics in South America, a lively debate was being pursued in libertarian circles on how far freedom can go.

    Didn’t free individuals have the right to take their own lives, (more…)

    Roger Scruton’s Death-Devoted Heart
    Part Two: The Sacred

    4,445 words

    Why does Scruton not examine the role of Melot in Death-Devoted Heart more closely?

    Tristan und Isolde echoes themes from Romeo and Juliet and Othello, so it is unlikely that Wagner did not have both plays in mind when he composed his opera. The Othello theme is especially clear in the regrets expressed by King Marke that he could not clearly see, just as Othello could not clearly see. Melot, like Iago, faces death if he cannot make good the claim of adultery; (more…)

    Roger Scruton’s Death-Devoted Heart
    Part One: The Personal

    5,223 words

    Sir Roger Scruton, who died of cancer on January 12th, 2020 at the age of seventy-five, wrote more than fifty books, was the editor of the conservative publication The Salisbury Review, and in his final years was briefly chairman — dismissed and subsequently reinstated — of the Conservative Government’s “Building Better, Building Beautiful Commission.”

    I once met Roger Scruton. He invited me to his flat in London in 1982 where I remember enjoying his excellent wine. (more…)

    Zürich, Switzerland: Orell Füssli Verlag, 2020 (2003)

    Robert Malthus’s essay on population growth is widely known and widely refuted, mostly by commentators who have not read it.

    One of the few things which can be stated with any certainty about the consequences of the recent Austrian elections on October 15 is that they are unpredictable, both for Austria and for European politics. The hard Left is out of parliament, the Social Democrats are in disarray, the anti-immigration course of the conservatives under a new, young leader has reaped dividends, and the “far Right” FPÖ has entered a coalition government.
