Episode description
We’re diving into one of the Founders’ most critical lessons: the dangers of factions and party spirit. To truly understand their warnings, we’ll explore the ideas that inspired them - especially the sharp insights of Thomas Gordon and John Trenchard, authors of Cato’s Letters and Gordon’s Works of Sallust. Their words, written nearly 300 years ago, reveal truths about political division that remain just as relevant today. Some things, it seems, never really change.
