The project fused intellectual history and biography to investigate four key issues: the increased engagement of intellectuals with the American public in the 1930s and 1940s; the conflict between the Old and New Left in the 1950s and 1960s; the tensions between the intellectual right and left in the 1970s and 1980s; and the role of public intellectuals during and after the Cold War. Additionally, the project asks what Kristol鈥檚 later works can tell us about the nature of American capitalism.
